In Robert J. Whelchel’s article, “Is Technology Neutral?” Whelchel argues that technology is not neutral, because it has a value system. He reiterates the importance of technology and how “we should strive to understand the serious critiques of it.” I completely agree with Whelchel. Technology is a major part of our lives; it plays a crucial role in our daily activities. So understanding the morality of it is also crucial.
Whelchel begins by persuading the reader that technology is not neutral by stating that: “The product of modern science are not in themselves good or bad; it is the way they are used that determines their value.” He makes a great point when stating since each product may have a specific use, but might not be used for that
