Do you feel like technological advancement will hinder or hurt the future generations?

It depends in which direction it goes in.

People think that mobile phones and the internet 'help' them.
But basically they're just two industries created and thrown at people with the marketing of [b]Look how cool this is ! You'll get left behind if you don't have them !![/b]

As a result, everybody NOW expects you to be at their beck and call 24/7 and you have to give up your RIGHT to privacy because YOUR government INSISTS on it if you want to use the internet !

Yet we still don't have a cure for the common cold, nor a creative way to care for a rising elderly population without paying those who do the caring a minimum wage, whilst at the same time watching the stock prices of these tech companies, rise.

It already does

It is definitely hurting at present and will get worse in the future. I just heard on the news England is dropping analog clocks in class rooms because the students cannot tell time with them and are unable to tell how much time they have left when taking tests. My wife teaches college classes and kids cannot do simple algebra with out their smart phones or laptops and these are students that will be working out in the field where they may not have reception or laptops and they have to do math that is even more complicated than simple algebra. Liberal run education systems are to blame as they give good grades just for trying and allow the kids to use their smart phones and laptops rather than actually do problems using formulas and showing their work. My wife and other teachers find that at least half the students cheat when taking tests. The college has a written policy that if they are caught cheating they will be expelled for the year, but that does not happen because parents are suing schools if little Johnny or Mary get "F's" or kicked out. The world is getting dumber and dumber. Thanks to liberals.

Technology can mean anything. Figuring out how to use a rock as a tool was at one point technological advancement.

I assume you mean electronic technology like smartphones.
I think it has great power to help us. It already has. I think the issue is that we advance technology (kind of in general) faster than we learn to manage it. Maybe that's something we need to put more emphasis on; learning how to better utilize and manage all these new thing we figure out and create. It's like we get so excited about new things we run forward without really understanding it or the potential consequences it may have, and trip over our own feet.

Technology is and can be a wonderful thing. It can help make our lives better and a little easier (and even a little more fun too). But I feel that we are getting a bit too reliant on it, and it is progressing faster than we are actually ready for it or can handle it for the majority of people...and that can lead to big trouble down the road ( look at how cyber crime has escalated for example). It could lead to a major downfall that would be devastating world wide.

Both.
To get something always comes at a cost.
I think the motion is already set

Technology definitely helps us. Medical advancements, scientific advancements, technology that makes everyday tasks easier or more attainable are all good things. But all Sunshine makes a desert.

We need to learn to limit our use and Reliance upon technology. Technology, on the dark side, convinces us we should do more, accomplish more, be faster, be more efficient. Just because we can fit it into a day due to technology doesn't necessarily mean we should.

And while we can reach more people at the farthest ends of the earth, we're actually less connected and more isolated than ever before.

Lastly, the more we rely on devices and machinery the more vulnerable we are when it fails us. I'm sure this was said of things like the typewriter and electricity, too, but the lesson is in there.

Technology always creates new job opportunities. New things to learn. No matter what, technology will need humans to run it. They at the moment can't run themselves

The rich will continue to get richer, there will be more and more poorer people who will become poorer themselves. That's how it's always been, that's how it always will be.

Well, without technological advancement we'd probably be extinct. Humans lack durable, sharp claws and fangs. We don't run very fast. We don't have good insulation. We don't photosynthesize or directly extract nutrients from dirt. Yup, we'd be dead.
