What are the ways that technology can dehumanize society?

Answer 1

I'm not sure if that's possible. If humans invented technology?

Without regard for the left-handed people, the blind, those who suddenly became productive as a result of technology; how can this product of humanity be outside their experience now, of all times? Can a computer overlook talent or family names as tyrants could in times past? Frankly, I see society becoming more human and more inclusive as we all gain in knowledge. Who cared who once valued their life? Who merits inclusion?
Sometimes, it's great to see someone learning a new alphabet and no longer being dependent as in times past! Only military technology can impact humanity, by asking for our approval above all else, IMHO.

Answer 2

Piece work....which involves employees having to meet quotos in order to
achieve the highest pay scale is dehumanizing. Technology forces people
to work to the machine's capabilities, not the person's abilities.
Adults once took children to work with them, in the field's etc. Now children
are left with strangers, daycare, babysitters. Children are raised by these
people. Some would say that this undermines the family. The children
do not share the same ideals, thoughts, etc. The family is the basis of
society, therefore, society is threatened.

By reducing actual physical contact with each other. See Brittany Spears, she told her husband she as divorcing him by sending a text message.
