Tell that to the current depression epidemic. The fact of the matter is people are sick and technology is to blame.

I didn't say that all technology is beneficial. I think smart phones have been a disaster for society overall. They have brought a lot of productivity gains but has been a double edged sword.

Same for the internet too. Lots of benefits but now all the nut jobs can congregate and share conspiracy theories and the youth is exposed to a lot of insane stuff a much younger age.

I mean stuff that guys from the 50's never saw in all their life. So yeah technology can definitely be bad. But as far as productivity gains you can't stop it and the freight train is coming. It will bring a higher quality of life in practical terms but who knows what it does to society.
