Even if we stressing the 'uncontrolled growth' phrase, technology isnt by itself anything destructive. We dont have dysentery etc in our daily lives today and we dont have to go to the village well to pull water because of growth of technology. Similarly, we can talk over immense distances online like this thanks to technology. The development of technollogy has been overwhelmingly good for us. What is bad is not technology - what is bad is actually the control that some has over it.

It was because technology and science have been privatized at the end of 19th century that the progress of technology slowed down in the 20th century, and they have been made into for-profit, artificially scarce resources. From patents to withholding medical technology from those who cant pay, from throwing food away instead of feeding it to the hungry when the food cant be sold in the market from desired price, its not the technology and its growth that is hampering and damaging us - its the capitalist system that controls the technology to maximize its profit.

Similarly, its not technology that is destroying humanism, morals or any other value - its capitalism doing that in order to maximize profit. Otherwise the technology enabled us with unprecedented advances in human relations, ranging from allowing us to organize in things like Open Source to create things that are free for all to activism, crowdfunding and many more. It brought us, people from all around the world, together, instead of separating us.

So, no, definitely, technology isnt the problem. The problem is the feudal system that the world still hasnt been able to overthrow. Even while it was destroyed morally and legally by the French Revolution and its principles, it found its way back in through private ownership of means of production in Capitalism.
