Technology is Amoral but you have to be responsible with it use. The core issue is personal responsibility.
Take this computer and internet,without them you wouldn't be able to view my blog at the very least, yet they can be used in such harmful ways: exposing the young to inappropriate material, identity-theft, etcetera.
Look at the drinking straw ... it's innocent enough when used to slurp a delicious cold Ting, but may be used as a sharp implement to inflict wounding and even death.
People use technology in harmful and unethical ways such as digital piracy, where intellectual property is illegally downloaded/stolen. wrong-doings and injustice. With source anonymity, one has no way of checking source credibility, yet numerous person's reputations have been marred by this site.
Social networks like Facebook and Twitter allow for reputations to be smeared with some persons being oblivious to the fact that they were 'dissed' on twitter, or had their revealing pix posted on Facebook.
Your iPhone/ smartphone makes you and yours trackable, as even with the harmless act of posting pix online, you leave a digital footprint.
