I believe that technology enhances our ability to live a good life according to Callicles because he believes that to live a good life, we must be self-indulgent and do the things that help to fulfill our desires. If one of your desires in life is to be happy, then technology can do this by allowing you to view, access and participate in things using technology.
Socrates would argue that technology would undermine our ability to live a good life because unless it involves giving back to the community then it would not be beneficial at all.
A counter argument would be that it can help the community by making any polls to vote for new leaders and it also gives knowledge/understanding of any issues in the media through the internet.
In the link posted below, the author believes that it would undermine the ability to live a good life because technology is consuming us.
Counter arguments could be that if we were being consumed by technology, then everyone wouldn't have any knowledge to do anything for themselves so we would pretty much be living our life being able to do nothing at all. This is false because with the inventions of the newer models of smart phones, a human being must have to develop the concept of the model.
