What technology would you be better off without, why?
Probably the one piece of technology we’d all be better off without is any system designed to amplify and mass-distribute misinformation — especially when it gives a megaphone to powerful leaders spreading racist or harmful narratives.
Not because tech itself is evil, but because when algorithms reward outrage, and platforms prioritise virality over truth, they turn one person’s words — even a world leader’s — into global “facts” within minutes. That’s when misinformation hardens into division, fear, and real-world harm.
If there’s any tech we should ditch, it’s the kind that makes fake news louder than real lives.
