What about technology?

I am very interested in looking at technology and how it effects the human condition in general. Please answer the following two questions:

1. Do you think that social change is driven by technology or people?

2. Do you think that technology makes life better or worse?

Please provide your reasoning behind your answers. Thank You! ATW
