>> Holy shit, dude. Are you kidding with me?

Absolutely not. I'd take it on a case-by-case basis, but cars, the internet, and film CG at the very least are not purely improvements to the world.

Many cities, especially in the US but elsewhere too, have been effectively destroyed as places for people by changing to accommodate cars.

The internet democratized publishing and connected people like never before, including the cranks and nazis.

CGI: Star Wars prequels. Ian McKellen crying on a green screen set.

Heck as I sit here and type this out, I even have a take on DAWs and digital photos. DAWs have made for a lot of soulless music based on loops and samples instead of actual musicians playing. Digital photos have created an enormous mountain of images that we can only sort through with AI now; it's totally devalued any particular photograph to worthlessness.
