having been an IT specialist for a Friends school, I can definitively say that technology is not necessarily evil to them :-) In fact, depending on how you define "technology", I'm not sure technology is unacceptable to anyone. (The ability to weave cloth for clothing, for example, could be regarded as technology, as could the ability to make spears, knives, or similar implements to get food.)
In regard to the rest of your statement, there are (at least) two things that could be said. First of all, as I have said in a previous posting, it may (in principle) be possible to distinguish between what is good/moral and what individuals or societies *accept* as good/moral. It may not be; I'm not sure that one could conclusively prove things either way. As far as good and evil being relative to context, that depends on the level of abstraction being used. At various levels of abstraction, different amounts of context can be discarded; and at an appropriate level of generalization, one may be able to decide whether an action is moral or not without taking certain specific circumstances into consideration. |
