Technology has historically benefited workers, consumers, and investors in the long run. You may argue that those long term benefits are not worth the short term costs borne by those who lack the skills and/or opportunities to take advantage of the technology. In making any argument(s) against technology, it should always be remembered that if you do not take advantage of it, someone else will; and technology compounds, so the short term costs should be compared to compounding long term benefits.
- edanm 13y ago"Technology has historically benefited workers, consumers, and investors in the long run." For ~200 years, before which there were far less technology shifts and less market capitalism in general. And just because something has been true for ~200 years doesn't mean it will continue being true.
