Abstract

This paper discusses the limitations and impossibilities of technology neutral in the context of the rapid development of science and technology. With the help of literature analysis, the core concepts of science and technology are comprehensively sorted out, and the basic viewpoints and theoretical foundations of technology neutral are elaborated, while the main arguments and representative viewpoints of the opponents of technology neutral are meticulously summarized. The four key points in the development and evolution of science and technology in human society are analyzed, and it is emphasized that in a complex social environment, the design, use, development and social impact of technology are deeply embedded in specific values and ethical considerations, which makes technology no longer a pure tool isolated from society, which requires us to adopt a more comprehensive, in-depth and dynamic perspective to examine the essence of technology in the complex and intertwined contexts of technology in modern society. This requires us to adopt a more comprehensive, in-depth and dynamic perspective to scrutinize the nature and value of technology in the complex interweaving of technology in modern society.
