The problem with questions about 'technology' is that they tend to define 'technology' both imprecisely and far too narrowly. Speech, fire, cloth and writing are all technologies which revolutionized human life when they were developed -- would any of the inevitable self-professed haters of technology want to be rid of those?

Speaking of the arts, and a whole bunch of technologies I'd not want to lose, from then lyre and panpipes to the flute and harp and harpsichord and piano and theremin and hammered dulcimer and tinwhistle and ocarina and pitch pipe and bassoon and digital recording ... paints (oil and tempera abd acryluc and watercolor, oh my) and brushes and stretched canvas ... fired ceramics, the potter's wheel ...
