It's a mistaken construction to try and think about what computing does, whether it's good or bad. There is not some fundamental nature that lies at the heart of something called "computing." Computing, or science or technology or whatever, are not mystical forces with their own animating spirit and nature.

Computing, like every human activity, is subject to the gravitational forces of capitalist markets. Computing does whatever people who can make money with computing decide computing does.

There is a better question to ask than, "Is computing helpful or harmful?" It is, "Who gets to decide what gets researched, built, invented, and how it will all be used?"
