Indeed, technology has been immersed in us, manifested through us, and manipulated by us. What I mean by "us" is simply human beings as a species. The development of technology has been dominated by powerful men in their pursuits for more power through transcendence, transcendence of everything. Mission to save the world by manipulating and dominating, suppressing and oppressing has become possible. And now we have everything from atomic bombs to genetic remainders of some dinosaur in our tomatoes. The pope announces the Holy war against The Other according to the scriptures to make sure that Armageddon does come true. Violence against violence. Kill them before they kill you. "them" could be anyone, anyone who doesn't follow the dominant mindset. Religion has always been at the core of humans pursuits for some reasons, justifications for wars against nature, for technological innovations. And here we have "spirituality and technology".
But to generalize technology as mere evil power to attain enlightenment would be too simple. As a matter of fact, technology is such a complex reality in its own that one needs to observe one's own world to find residues of technology on merely everything. As I type this sentence, I can't stop being a "techno-human". Even when I take a pen instead to overcome my cynical attitude, I am still using technology to achieve my needs for writing. Even when I think of creativity, and making the world beautiful by painting some image, I am still using a brush or some other technological devices. If I decide to become one with nature, to transcend the urban reality by going into the woods, I bring my sleeping bag and use transportation to get there. And so what? What difference does it make? Am I swinging between antitechnological anarchist and cynical nature lover with a hammer? Or, perhaps, there is a difference. Difference lies in the realm of choices. Choices that I consciously make as a human, as a member of the society. If I chose not to support pharmaceutical companies, I will also stop participating in the war machine. Indirectly of course. But then I will be suffering from headaches with no aspirin. What choices do we have? Or what choices has been left for us by those who are in power of technology.?

To add to the idea that we have a choice, and what that choice may be, I would like to offer Atwood's words as an illustration, or an indirect illustration to what I've written on how we are bound to technology....

I am the cause, I am a stockpile of chemical toys,
my body is a deadly gadget, I reach out in love,
my hands are guns,my good intentions are completely lethal...

Each time I hit a key on my electric typewriter,
speaking of peaceful trees another village explodes
