The Irony of Technology

I just finished watching the following clip http://www.safeshare.tv/w/DTAINyElxY

about the future surgery room as narrated by Dr. Kobi Votman, an Israeli alumnus of the Technion.  A fantastic development.  Yet I could not help but wonder how such brains at the Technion who can do research and develop so much for the welfare of the human being,  by reducing pain and trauma of surgery, can at the same time be using their technology to cause so much destruction, increase pain,   and loss of lives of a population that is under their mercy.
