New technology is not inherently good or bad . When economists talk about technology, they are thinking very broadly about anything that helps us produce things faster, better or cheaper . In this sense, technology is always better for someone, as it wouldn’t be considered technology if it wasn’t useful in solving an existing problem or meeting a new want. The problem is that often the effects of new technologies are much better for some people than others . And in a lot of cases, new technology is downright bad for a lot of people. Assessing whether a new invention is a positive or negative thing involves not only looking at its impact on different groups in society, but also on future generations and the environment.

Another issue is that new technologies affect future generations. Sometimes this can be positive; life is much better today for most people because of the technologies of the Industrial Revolution. But it can also be negative, as is most apparent with technologies that cause environmental damage or speed up climate change. [links]

Historically there is a good deal of support for this idea. Technology has been ‘killing jobs’ since at least the start of the Industrial Revolution in the 1700s , when machines dramatically reduced the amount of time needed to produce things like cloth. But over the very long run, the world as a whole has gotten much richer. And while unemployment is now a bigger problem than it was before the Industrial Revolution, for the most part new jobs have indeed replaced the old.

We still think it’s kind of insane that Apple took many of the best aspects of its iPad Pro — namely the slim-bezel design and compatibility with the Magic Keyboard — dropped them into the newest iPad Air and offered it at a very reasonable price. As a result, for less than $600, you get a device that lets you stream Netflix and Spotify, FaceTime with your friends, doodle, draw and design with the Apple Pencil, and even use it like a traditional laptop. Even if tablets are not completely essential in most people’s day-to-day lives like phones are, it’s undeniable that an iPad is deeply pleasurable to use. If you can afford one, don’t deprive yourself of the coolest luxury gadget around. more
