2. While I agree with you about

considering each technology on its own merits, many of your examples had some huge negatives. I think that's the main point of the OP.

The metal on metal hip implants that were insufficiently tested and fragment off causing metallosis. The alternative energy generation field is positively overflowing with scammers and frauds. And the worst example of all: Windows ME.

There's a huge gulf between warranted skepticism and a luddite's kneejerk rejection of new technology.
