Re: What technological advance has caused more harm than good?
This is interesting.
First thing that comes to my mind is gunpowder. It was used almost exclusively for weapons - cannons, and later firearms, that caused previously unheard of carnage on the battlefield
and leading to the carpet bombing of WW2 in which millions of people were killed by bombers who were so far away they could not even see the people they were killing
60 million dead in WW2 alone, almost all from gunpowder based weapons
by compairson, less than 200,000 people have died to date from nuclear weapons.
