The Purpose of Technology and its Impact on Creation

Technology, originally designed as the ingenuity and advancement of image-bearers, was meant to fulfill the mandate of glorifying God and bringing peace to creation. However, after the fall, technology became the product of fallen image-bearers pursuing their own glory, resulting in harm to creation. Technological advancements driven by sinful efficiency have amplified the destructive power of humanity, leading to greater harm than good. It is crucial to discern the indiscernible consequences of living in a technological age and recognize how efficiency-driven technology has remade humanity in service to itself.
