@Towgunner, let me ask you this:
If God, for most of human history, ordered that
men would be subject to nature and live in harmony with nature, and
not seek to
rule over and conquer nature,
AND
you correctly recognize that man's attempt to free himself from being subject to nature (and, by extension, God) through technology has indeed led to many problems,
THEN, why do you think God would now lift the requirement for man to be subject to nature and live in harmony with it?
Why do you think that THIS TIME it will work?
You correctly see technology as the problem. But your answer to this is "technology is not the problem, its current management is the problem. If only we had better people in charge of the System, it would work."
Instead of acknowledging that the only way for society to reconnect with God is to reconnect with God's creation -- i.e. nature -- first, by abandoning (or at least greatly reducing) its use of technology and returning to more natural ways of living.
That latter conclusion is quite logical and intuitive, given that we already know technology is bad and separates us (as a society) from God. But it is uncomfortable because, well, it forces you to envision a life without modern comforts.
So instead, Christians will keep spinning our wheels to try and find a way to have our cake and eat it too; to keep Christ AND modern comforts.
It will never work.

You do a good job listing all the obvious bad outcomes technology causes (automation and displacement of workers, hydrogen bomb, etc).
But in reality, these are modern media tropes.
While it may be true that workers are being displaced and nuclear weapons kill a lot of people, far more destructive are the
spiritual effects technology has on people.
Cars, trains, and planes that allow us to scatter our families and our peoples across the globe, breaking apart kinship ties in pursuit of economic opportunity or some other non-spiritual purpose.
Computers that allow for things like porn, online dating, videogames, TV, movies, all of which are degenerate, and all of which we do not need.
Guns that are (correctly) referred to as "the great equalizer," meaning that hard work and swordsmanship is no longer required skills for men to learn. Any out-of-shape, unhealthy, and obese person can buy a gun and feel empowered and protected.
This allows you to
feel more empowered, but in reality, the government will always have bigger guns than you do. You will never stand a chance against the state if push comes to shove.
Modern music. I don't think I even need to go into detail about that one.
I mean, it is mind-blowing that people can hang out together and spend the ENTIRE TIME talking about "hobbies" that are limited to modern movies, music, and sportsball, and ZERO TIME discussing things that actually matter (i.e. God and spiritual matters).
What would Medieval Christians thought if they saw this?
I assume they would probably laugh to prevent themselves from crying.
