I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say that the problem is not the technology, but who controls it.
If we actually taught digital literacy in schools, and democratized access to technology, people could be making their own software made for solving problems instead of capturing attention!
100%. I can’t believe how much technology is things I dreamed of having but never thought of it as being applied in anything but a eutopic model. Basically our social advancement is lagging way behind our technical advancement. Heck we are going behind. It still gets me how we have a very good example of how communications should be looked at legally with the post office and how we intentionally do not use it as a baseline.

If I ran a high school tech class I’d give them a box of parts and say “make it run Doom”
Also, when most of the new technology is corporate-fellating AI, surveillance and ad technology, it’s also the technology that’s the problem.
