Explosive Growth In Technology: Good or Bad?

Ray' Kurzweil enthusiasm on the subject of accelerated growth in technology is highly disturbing. I find his view on technological evolution to be atrocious and unethical. Yes technology is very useful and the improvements made on it very helpful, but going as far as to use it in order to stunt aging, control emotions, our thought process, and manipulating our memories is exceedingly extreme and frightening. I don't write this as way to knock down Kurzweil I just don't agree on his fixation with technology. What are you guys opinion on Ray Kurzweil view on the expansion of technology? Are you guys as highly opposed to these things? If not why?
