A perspective on technology itself

This world of technology is nothing if not a world of problems of its own making. No solution is really enough as every state we achieve leaves only more apparently undone or potential untapped.

After many years observing this cycle, these seem clear:

  1. There is no satiation in technology
  2. The next thing is really the one we all want
  3. Innovation is a like currency and as greed oriented as money
  4. We will not solve the world’s problems through technology (at least not alone)
  5. Technology has caused or enabled most of the world’s problems
  6. The world’s problems are all human made problems
