After coding for more than 15 years, I can assure everyone that technology is always an enabler, and never the main thing (even if it pretends to be). The main thing is human interaction. We are humans after all.
Since "value" can either be a societal construct or a biological one (e.g. needs for food), it has now occured to me that it makes more sense to view technologies themselves as without intrinsic "value". Technology can only be a mean to an end, and not the other way round. (Or who is going to fund it? The military? Then it has to be military tech.. which is used to enable the strong stablization of a status quo, a currency, or the American dream... so once again, tech would always be a mean across any social/cultural/political/psychological vehicles.
