It depends on the technology in question, but most development has some agenda that drives it or that is enabled by it. Simply engaging in the development of tech is already pushing an agenda - the notion that we should pursue technological advancement.
For me the important realization is that I'm not being neutral when creating something - at best/worst I'm being ignorant. I'd like to reflect more on my motivations for building things and be more explicit on my motivations for doing so.
