TLDR; The myth of technology is that advanced technology has not brought a higher (aggregate) quality of life.

The myth of technology refers to a technological and social system which is marked by the failure of advanced technology to both reduce working hours required of people to live, and to distribute wealth equitably among its many members.

The promise of technology is to deliver the opposite - in other words appropriate technology (in the broad sense) that leaves nobody behind and introduces the possibility of genuine human progress.
