The TED talks are unique. The basic principle is to invite a specialist in a field to come talk about something for a half an hour. About a year ago they started making the talks available on the internet.
Personally, I find just about everything fascinating, so the TED talks are like an eight year old discovering there's been a playground in her backyard her entire life.
Here's Billy Graham talking in the 80s about what technology cannot do:
Thoughts?
Also, here's a few others I found interesting.

But I caution anyone against sharing this talk with a non-believer; flawed argument (Pascal's Wager in particular).
Personally, I find just about everything on TED fascinating! Thanks very much!
However, Billy G was right when he said, that even though Science and technology continue to advance, the main problem (sin) cannot be solved with tools, but by the blood of the savior.
That aside, Graham is of course correct that the benefits, or horrors, of technology are only as good as those who wield it. Generally, someone will manage to inflict just about any evil any technology is capable of, just as others will manage to do any good that can be done with it. And we will always argue about whether some uses fall into the category of good or evil.
