I prefer the saying "technology is a tool and a tool can be used for good or evil" or something like that
You can use a hammer to hammer nails or to injure someone
Technology can make the world better if its in the right hands for example open source hardware & software
Agreed, but things act differently at scale and it's not like there's 10 billion+ hammers being used at the same time, almost all of the time, for years on end
"La science sans conscience n'est que ruine de l'âme"
You could say the same thing about splitting atoms.
That's also technology. Used for good and evil.
