Scientific American's Fred Guterl Explores the Threats Posed By Technology

It's fairly clear that a nuclear armageddon would have been bad for the majority of earth, if not destroying civilization completely.

Let's look at the other scenarios he describes (not all necessarily related to technology):

Emerging diseases. Yes, if H1N1 were as bad as the 1918 influenza, millions would have died. Not worth comparing to nuclear winter.
Global Warming. I'll let you decide if it's as bad as a nuclear armageddon.
Computer Hacking. In theory, it could cut power to a lot of people, as the article mentions, but so could some well-placed sticks of dynamite.

At least he didn't mention the terminator [slashdot.org].
