I feel like it will hurt the future more than it will help it.

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.
