Interesting take. I say that about all technologies—they can be good or bad depending on how you use them. Like fire—it can warm you and cook your food, or it can burn your house down or kill you.

And it depends on choices for how to use them. If I didn’t hear reports, I would have no idea about evil things on the internet. Just like in real life, I don’t go to those places.
In general I agree but I believe there are areas forbidden to man like technology creating man/animal hybrids, manipulating genetic material that “enhance human function” (Can’t be done but they still try) cloning human beings, building a Tower to reach Heaven, etc. It’s like man wants to be God even from the beginning.
I totally agree with you there. I think trying to genetically modify what God has made can be very evil.
But I think if bad genes could be replaced with good ones to heal conditions, that might be viewed as very beneficial to mankind. I’m thinking of one, not handicapping, just disfiguring that I’ve had since preadolescence. One bad, bad gene. That I unfortunately passed on to some of my children and grandchildren and it really makes me sad.

All things are permitted to us, but not all things are good for us? Some feller said words to that effect, once upon a time.

It is called hubris. The Greek gods hated this in man. What does our God feel about it?
"MY grace is sufficient for you" comes to mind....
True. But in many ways technology always does that in some way. This is just closer.
🗨 Technology is an amplifier. It makes the good better, and the bad worse.
(same Svetski again)
Exactly.
