I am a Technology Atheist...
There I said it... nevertheless notice how many times I use believe in my thought outline.
Now before you start thinking WTF Yves, you mean Technology Agnostic, right?
The answer lies, as always, in the understanding and definition of what we mean by one vs the other.
Omitting the "Technology" part, an Atheist is defined as someone who is not a theist and a theist is defined as someone who believes that God exists. Conversely, an Agnostic is someone who is a person who has entertained the proposition that there is a God, but believes neither that it is true nor that it is false. Stanford has a nice publication on the subjects https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/atheism-agnosticism/
Bringing this back to Technology...
I do not believe i.e. it is false, that there is such a thing as a one true "God Technology", the one true Technology that defines, creates, answers, (and yes) destroys all meaningful solutions to a problem i.e. the one true technology that we should all follow and adopt.
I do not believe that there may ever be such a "one true" Technology, or that I simply do not know whether such a Technology could exist in the future.
As an architect I cannot be an Agnostic, as being an architect means you understand there are always "trade offs" or "options" with every Technology choice you make, and there are always multiple ways to solve a problem...some more effective, some more efficient and some, well... just not working.
Recently some have argued that the "God Technology" will be AI based, and it is only a matter of (short) time before this -once available- "General AI" will become the one true realization of the "God Technology". Knowing good well what happened to Atheists in the not so distant past, and at the risk of the future AI "God" to find this post and burn me at the stakes... I say NO, ain't gonna happen.
Why? Architectural thinking is why, even the AI will continue to use its architectural trade offs and ways of weighing of the use of one technology vs the other, always and forever. It is part of its Architecture and its true Technology Atheism.
Kindest Regards,
Yves.
