A few problems Technology solves:

    Starvation (better agriculture, distribution, storage)
    Pathogens and illness (medicine)
    Environmental hazards (heating, shelter)
    Lack of human contact (transportation + communication)
    Censorship (distributed networks)
    Entertainment (media creation, reproduction, storage)

Now, if you define technology as 'The internet-focused startup world of social media and marketing that the buzzword "technology" often refers to', of which Instagram is the current poster-child, then you might have a point. Might. Slamming all technology because of that is to be willfully ignorant of what modern life relies on.

I'll take a world full of pop-up adds, viral marketing videos and spam email over a world in which my parents both died of Malaria in their 30's and I can barely get enough clean water to live on in my dirt-brick house.
