Metaphoric applications of technology
* Don't hide a lamp under a bowl ([[Mark 4:21]])
* Vineyards and wine-presses (e.g. [[Mark 12:1]])
 
The frequency of metaphoric references indicates a broad acceptance among the Biblical writers of the technologies of their time. If the writers were in any way opposed to technology, we could expect them to avoid these types of metaphors, or to use technological metaphors dismissively or ???. But there none of that is evident.
