Technology should empower, not oppress from "summary" of Technology Vs Humanity by Gerd Leonhard

Technology should never be used as a means of oppression. Instead, it should serve as a tool to empower individuals and enhance their lives. This fundamental principle must guide our approach to the development and implementation of technology in all its forms. We must ensure that the technologies we create are designed with the well-being of humanity in mind, rather than as instruments of control and domination. The power of technology lies in its ability to connect people, facilitate communication, and enable access to information. These capabilities have the potential to empower individuals and communities, enabling them to achieve their full potential and lead fulfilling lives. However, when technology is used to restrict freedom, manipulate behavior, or suppress dissent, it becomes a tool of oppression rather than empowerment. We must be vigilant in guarding against the misuse of technology for nefarious purposes. We cannot allow technology to be weaponized against us, whether by governments, corporations, or other actors. We must hold those who develop and deploy technology accountable for the impact it has on society and ensure that it is used in ways that benefit humanity as a whole.
  1. The choice is ours to make. We have the power to shape the future of technology and determine whether it will be a force for good or a force for harm. By embracing the principle that technology should empower, not oppress, we can create a world where technology serves the needs of humanity rather than subjugating it. It is up to us to ensure that technology is used in ways that enhance our lives, expand our possibilities, and enrich our experiences.
