    Technological progress isn’t inherently anything. It’s just technological progress; an inevitability. Fighting against it is like fighting the laws of the universe, if not outright stupidly phobic.

    What defines the “goodness” of technology is how people choose to use it.

    Everything more said is just pointless philosophical fluff.

      Exactly. So arguing that “you shouldn’t technologically regress” is meaningless.

      Fighting against it is like fighting the laws of the universe

      Not only is this not applicable to the argument at hand, given there’s no law of nature that makes a CD player implode just because Spotify exists, but this statement is so bizarrely wrong it’s almost hard to take the rest of the discussion seriously.
