I have a few buddies that are philosophers in the area of Technology, which is fairly new to the field. They are mainly influenced by Jacques Ellul and Heidegger. As a Christian, which they aren't (at least not in an Orthodox sense), how does technological advancements help/hurt the Christian Worldview? To be more specific, I am referrring to medical cures, cloning, and A.I./cyborgs. My buddies are against the idea of technological advancements as being benficial for humans, for the most part.

Any thoughts?
