Well technology if over-relied on does encourage laziness and dependency on others, I wouldn't say technology is bad, but excessive dependency on it, or idolizing science and technology as some kind of 'secular god' which will save humans from all their ills is definitely a problem.
This technophilia seems to be a hallmark both of radical progressivism and corporatism, since those who become overly dependent on technology end up selling out their freedom to the corporations that produce it, sort of a "shadow authoritarianism" as opposed to socialism where the state is overtly in control.
In fact there's some type of overlap between radical progressivism and corporatism, which is one of the reasons why extreme progressive views are so tolerated by the corporate media today despite allegedly being against 'corporate greed' and all of that; same with the science idolization touted by the left-wing and atheist groups - in reality the people who receive the most direct-benefit from science are the corporations that use it to create new products and technolgies; not the scientists themselves who just study it out of curiosity.
Basically I see progressivism and technophiia being slightly aligned with a mutual goal of attacking self-reliance, which is one of the reason the progressive agenda is so anti-men.
However I think they've 'upped their game' and realized that overt, Nazi-style statism like that of the past doesn't work in a modern nation with mass media - the trick today is to give people the illusion of 'legally being free men' on the books, but doing everything in their power to make it as hard as possible to live without dependence on some greater 'power', whether it's corporations or the state; in other words, get people to voluntarily live like slaves, while deluding them into thinking they're "free" simply because they have legal rights on the books.
This is why an idiotic feminist slaving 70 hours a week at a corporate job she hates thinks she's more 'free' than a June Cleaver-type woman who gets to live in a comfortable home and have men provide for her, just because she can vote in an election once every for years in which her vote barely matters to begin with, this apparently mean's she's more "free" despite living every second of her daily life like a slave.
