Eyebright, the darling girl, has volunteered to judge this weeks debate. 

Not very many people offered an argument for this week, only three.  Is that due to the topic or a busy schedule?  Not sure.  We'll keep pressing on. 

Has technology brought more harm than good to mankind?

The three contenders for this debate, all agreed (basically) on whether or not technology has brought more good, or more evil to the world.  Everyone states that technology has brought more good, because with technology we are able to do amazing things. 

Those that contended for harm:

Um, none.

Those that contended for good:

mamaduso - technology helps to save lives, saves time, and makes communication very easy worldwide for familys and employees/employers.

KarenW - technology helps cure disease, get places faster, and makes life easier making life on earth more enjoyable.

DreweLlyn - "The greatest benefit of modern technology, though, is that it gives us the ability, now more than ever, to fulfill the Great Commission. With modern travel, tv, radio, and internet access, with advances in printing which is cheaper than the old printing press, the Gospel actually is able to go into all the world."

All of the contenders also clearly stated that although technology helps to spread sin, the TV, and computer are not at fault for this.  Man is the one to blame for all of the sinful things found on the television and computer. 

Looking at all of these reasons, I think that the winning side is; Technology has helped the world, more than harmed it.

Good job Eyebright! 

So, technology is good.  Which brings a new topic to mind for the new debate!  I'll save that for the new debate posting. 

It would have been interesting if anyone would have contended for harm. 

DreweLlyn made a good point about technology helping to spread the gospel.  Airplanes make it quicker and easier to reach mission fields, e-mail helps bring support and encouragement to missionaries and Christians world wide. Mass media has helped to bring humanity closer together, making this a small world after all.  We may be linked closer together, but we are more separated and isolated than ever.
