While I am sometimes tempted to just blame it on technology, as someone who is arguably more dependant on tech then most people, I cant really just blame it on tech. Me is blind, and without technology, I am not even sure if I wouldn't be placed in some sort of institution. IOW, without technology, I might have been enslaved by humanity because "they" likely wouldnt have known how to integrate me in a useful way. With technology, I can at least free myself in a few situations, with adds up to at least allowing me to exist independantly. But that is a very specific example... I am aware of that. So maybe your intutition is still right. Without technology, some of us might be worse off, but nobody knows what it would do to humanity as a whole.

To serve just as an example, see how our prophet pbuh. treated blind people, making one his representative and making him a muazzin (person who makes the call for Islamic prayer). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibn_Umm_Maktum https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibn_Umm_Maktum
