@samgai ya, you're correct — they are both extreme positions and hence you could say "bad" but very real, so i'm trying to say, that between them is a middle ground where we can take certain tech and leave others, i.e. have a free relation to it, which would be a good thing in contrast. the phrase "free relationship" to technology is not well understood, where as those others are, so i used them, and personally i feel the tug of them.

@samgai ps, "free relationships" to technology comes from Martin Heidegger essay 'The Question Concerning Technology " which is obtuse but worth the wade. Heidegger notes, “so as to prepare a free relationship to it”. The relationship will be free “if it opens our human existence (Dasein) to the essence of technology”. You can find a .pdf of it around.
