That's fair, although I will say I have seen some good discussions here at HN on the negative impacts of certain technologies which is encouraging. Those are the kinds of issues you'd hope tech people were giving some thought to.

I'll agree though that it's still very much encouraging of new technologies even those that will be certain to cause problems. For example, people here are far more interested in the cool things they can do using WebAssembly than they are worried about how it will be used to deliver malware and violate people's privacy.
