I do not think tech - in and of itself - is evil. I find advancement of tech to be our greatest asset as a civilized populace.
Tech has greatly relieved us of the tedium of basic life-support functions, which should be leaving us a lot more time for leisure or pondering things of the mind.
However, I find mixing tech and greed to be really, really, really nasty.
Often leaving us actually worse off.

Tech amplifies human nature.
A community wants to feed itself, so it invents agriculture. Before you know it (on a geological time scale), they have technology that can do it all for them.
Somebody wants to explore, so they domesticate horses and build wagons. Then they build boats. Then they build rockets.
That's the positive side of human nature.
Human nature is believing that the world is just and that bad things only happen to bad people. It's pretty much downhill from there.
