Finding a main criterion to measure the technology effect if it is good or bad, such as those were mentioned by Marx 1987 to answer his question, if improved technology means progress or not, focusing on three main issues for measurement, efficiencies, cost, and trouble elimination
Above all, would audiences accept such argument or ignore it? Technology and Culture, 51 1 : 199-215 Dupree, A Cowan, 2010 This seems to be true, because many innovations were invented at the beginning for military purposes, such as Internet, Radar, GPS, and digital photography, were adapted for civilian uses, such as communication, microwave, navigation, and digital camera
Social Research, 64 3 : 965-988 McDermott, J Technology the wide concept of knowing and using everything, such as tools and crafts, Woodward, 2013 has been known for a long time

Cowan 2010 mentioned that her students who are surrounded by technological life will neither eliminate their cars, nor the rest of their technological things for incorrect ideological argument 1987 Does improved technology mean progress?
