The problems are:
- Lack of social communication
(people dont talk to each other face to face)
Some people are not worth talking to so it wouldn't matter. Also technology prevents crime (distraction if for no other reason)
- People dont know how to think (because a computer does everything for you)
If you learn how to do things then you can use a computer for example you learn how to count then you can use a calculator
And the merits
- Does things faster and better
Including things mankind would be unable to do on.its own.
- Communication brings people together allowing for exchange of info
The spies did not want to enter the land of Israel because they were afraid of dealing with the physical after living in a spiritual experience in the Sinai, they said 'It is a land which swallows up its residents- they will become too involved in the Internet, 4K TVs and the autonomous cars! Forgetting about God! However Gd was not happy with their perspective and made that clear not to forget about him but to remind us about Him in style :) This was done by bringing us to the land of milk, honey and Wifi
Gd made these things so we can make this world a place for Him to live instyle :) . [Sicha Parshas shlach ] The 2 1\2 tribes of Gad, Reuven and Menashe settled outside the land showing that some people are need for exclusively spiritual activities. So each to their own.
