Depends what you mean

[young magnet]

i am writing about technology

i listed a bunch of positions but wish to indicate a change in

idk the word for it, opinion?

[untold siren]

I'd probably phrase it differently then
you can use bon/bonne when refering to things to talk about their "goodness" but often times bien gets used instead, particularly when used after the verb être

using bon/bonne after être often gives it more of a feel of something being good as in food

[young magnet]

so it would more resemble something like ce n'est pas tout bien

[untold siren]

ce sont de bons amis
vs.
tes amis sont bien

c'est une bonne tarte
cette tarte est bonne

uhhh I'd probably add a noun after to make it work

ce n'est pas que de bonnes nouvelles

[young magnet]

and that means the same as "it is not all good" ?

[untold siren]

"it not just good news"

there are a lot of ways that you might phrase such a tihng

[young magnet]

ah

I see, thank you

So would this make sense?

La technologie est formidable et la tendance générale de utilisant de technologie (comme la téléphone portable) est à la hausse. Cependant, ce n'est pas que de bonnes nouvelles ; il y a beaucoup de risque avec technologie. Par exemple ...

[untold siren]

hmmm there it sounds too informal

[young magnet]

[untold siren]

You could say something like "Cependant, il y a certains inconvenients et risques associés à la technologie

also, check your noun genders

and we can use the present participle in French as a noun
