    Technology allows people to get free from physical limitations. On one hand, it will allow unethical (even though this matter is completely subjective) events and behaviors, and on the other it will improve and encourage improvement of humanity. Technology is like a knife, its uses will determine the moral consequences. Feeding or hurting, ethical or unethical, this belongs to the hand holding it.

    This is simply manipulation. Technology or not, there would still be people using the same methods to manipulate others. The fake choices, the influence of society... It has always been used in marketing, or politics, or everyday life.
    Technology only allows to manipulate without having direct contact, and so, to manipulate a large amount of people. But the manipulation itself has nothing to do with technology
