Google and apple have helped ruin society by developing the smartphone. They might have occasionally done something useful but I am convinced they are a net detriment. All their products are about surveillance and control. The positive might be them making some tools they use to do that available for others to use.

And after them, let’s get the television. And I read a pretty convincing opinion piece about how the novel is destroying today’s youth (dated 1910 or so).
Nice "gotcha" except TVs or novels are not being pushed by government and corporations as being essential to life in society.
