Good points, but people are right to be skeptical. Often the technology can be very damaging, from lead (in paint and in the atmosphere) to asbestos to industrial accidents to partially hydrogenated fats to climate change, tech has created a lot of suffering and usually that cost is mostly externalized on the victims.

I don't reject all tech, but we can't realistically want people, especially those without the resources to understand it for themslves, to just trust the engineers and scientists.
