  • Improves productivity of goods and services.
  • Easier to manage finances.
  • Newer technology is more powerful and more power efficient.
  • Can improve our lives in ways we never thought of.
  • Can be an incredible boon to certain industries.
  • Aids in military defense and strategy.
  • Aids the economy.
  • Better prosthetics.
  • Better medicine.
I feel pros outweigh cons here.

Considering that the human life span has increased and has significantly done so since industrialization Yes. We've also gotten to the point where once horrible diseases that were feared are now not a concern.
Infact these diseases have been gone do long that a small vocal group of people don't believe in the thing technology helped to get rid of. We're also sending things into space which allows us to learn how our universe works. Technology is so advanced we have the whole of human knowledge in the palm of our hands quite literally.

Unrestrained flow of information across the world.
Almost everything in the world is largely available immediately and inexpensively.

Bad internet memes.

It's a pretty equal balance for me. Technology has improved our lives in so many ways, however I've caught myself being absolutely glued to my phone, neglecting activities or neglecting time with my loved ones.
