First, are you listening to experts and vulnerable communities? You should try to see what problems need the most solving at the moment. Also browse social media and see if people even need you. Check and see what they want or need most. Also, find credible sources or experts. This will help you decide whether or not something is beneficial or harmful.
Next, check to see if your tech does what it says it will do. Does it work always? Or only in simulated environments? Is is scientifically backed up? Or do you only say it is. You must know all your technology’s weaknesses and abilities. You must always check if what you are saying is completely true.
Lastly, who does your tech give power to? Does it benefit everyone? Or if someone owns it do they have all the power. More people are skeptical about new tech. See if it enables the government to spy or take advantage of consumers. You must always see if your tech is truly beneficial.
In conclusion, if are you making tech, you must always check if it is truly helping. You must see if it is needed. Also, you must check if it does what it says it will do. Lastly you must decide whether or not if it is helping everyone, and if it can be taken advantage of. If you want to make tech to help, you must check for every possible problem.
