"Technology" is one of those words where your bullshit detectors should perk up whenever you hear it.
It's so broad but is often used to talk about something really specific (mobile internet, or social media, or W3C standards, or a particular small group of struggling small businesses in southern california, or taxi services, or labor law evasion), so it's used to apply generalizations to large groups of things that have nothing in common except accidents of history.
I have never heard the word "technology" used in a meaningful way outside of social anthropology.
So, if somebody says something about "technology" that isn't applicable to hand-axes, ask yourself: what did that person actually intend to talk about, and what unrelated things could easily be confused for it that the statement would be false for?
(For instance, "technology kills social skills" is probably intended to mean social media but not labor law evasion or tax services.)
