👉 Anti-engineering, also known as anti-technology or technophobia, refers to the resistance or opposition to technological advancements and modern engineering practices. This phenomenon often stems from concerns about the potential negative impacts of technology on society, including environmental degradation, loss of jobs, privacy invasions, and ethical dilemmas. Critics argue that unchecked technological progress can lead to over-reliance on systems that may fail catastrophically, exacerbate social inequalities, and undermine traditional values. Anti-engineering movements advocate for a more cautious approach to technological development, emphasizing the need for sustainable practices, ethical considerations, and the preservation of human autonomy and cultural heritage. They often call for increased public awareness and dialogue to ensure that technological innovations serve the broader good rather than just a select few.
