Technology was not meant to bring people together. Trace its etymology and origins and follow its roots. Even religious texts warn against it. The Amish admonish and prohibit it. The Amish have sustainable communities. Mainstream society is below replacement level birth rates.

Technology is a tentacle of transhumanism; the further down it you go the further you are divorced from your natural being and that of others. Not the contrary. Though neural link propaganda etc would have you believe otherwise.

You're not meant to exist like that and you're not meant to live in high rise rabbit hutches nuked by chemical reactors and naked radiation neither.

@fishescycle Then why are using the Internet to say so?

I take it you don't live in a high block of flats. Nor do I; but do you not live in a reasonably modern, comfortable home with mains electricity, maybe gas too, potable tap water, proper sewerage removal and local services? Do you not have modern means of leisure, travel, entertainment, etc, at your service?

Have you really been affected by some, extremely rare, nuclear or (slightly less rare) chemical accident in your locality? What is "naked radiation" anyway? The Sun's?

How would you rather have us live? In boring, narrow-minded, dictatorial little communes getting by on subsistence levels; a life more akin to 1823 than 2023 CE? Or in something more primitive still; more akin to 2023 [i]B[/i]CE?

I don't deny that some things would have been better not invented; but on balance I'd rather live in 2023 than 1823 or even 1923.

"Technology" is not a new word and its does not mean "computers". I think it was invented in the 1930s so can hardly mean that, not be railed against in any ancient religious book, of any faith (but so what if it was?). However, it is certainly a very woolly, rather meaningless and heavily over-used term of convenience for any product of science and engineering, good or bad.
