Nuclear warfare, biological warfare, environmentally dangerous machinery.

The lack of desire to actually MOVE. Technology making it so that you don't have to THINK anymore.

Technology getting smarter, some people are trying to get technology that can think on its' own. What a bad idea.

However, let's look at the good aspects of technology.

A modern person can watch ONE HOUR of TV News and learn more than a man from the 1600's may have learned in his entire lifetime. That's from TV alone.

Looking up information? Almost everything is at your fingertips.
Bored? Take our your iPod, listen to music.

Can't afford a real piano? Get a digital one.
Have enough money and really like electrical instruments? Get an electric violin.

Check the price of that item, no, too expensive there, cheaper here. No gas wasted. They don't sell this here, get it somewhere else, ship it here, thank you, have a nice day.

Technology is growing rapidly.

Whether or not it is dangerous is how far we go. People scoff at the idea of technology ever being able to take over the humans, no, we can't invent technology that thinks on its' own,and if it did, we'd be able to stop it.

Well, a couple hundred years ago, people scoffed at the idea of inventions such as the internet. Travel through space? Nonsense. There's no gravity, how will you move?

We could very well be planning our demise. Technically, we already are - environmental damage is our demise.
