I am going to research examples of technologies that were meant to be used for good falling into the wrong hands and being used for killing and other harm. I think I will start my research with gunpowder since it was originally used for entertainment similar to Dollhouse, but now it is more commonly used for guns and killing. Next I will use some of the suggestions I received and research how nuclear technology turned from energy to weapons. Nukes could very easily end the world however nuclear energy could provide cheap energy for millions. I will also research how the internet is good or bad depending on who is using it. It is very helpful when someone is trying to make their lives more convenient through online shopping or emails or things like that, but when people send viruses or hack into things, it can turn out very ugly.
