Philosophy Wire: Drones, technology and progress...

Philosophy Wire by Spiros Kakos [2010-12-17]: Automated flying Predator drones of the US Army killed at least 60 people in Pakistan (source: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-south-asia-12015959).


Many people think technology is progress. Others think technology is a curse. The first claim that technology has helped them survive. The latter are usually the ones killed by that technology, so they do not have the chance to counterargue... But is the one who survives on the expense of others really human?
