The solution to any problem is to add more of whatever is
causing the problem. If a government agency is mired in bureaucracy, form another
subcommittee. If freedom and liberty are threatened, add restrictions and increase
security. If our privacy is being eroded, what we obviously need is better surveillance
systems.
And when it comes to the problems caused directly by
technology, the solution is ALWAYS additional technology.
Consider the problem of dying honeybees. “Colony collapse disorder” is caused both
directly and indirectly by technology: directly through the use of immunotoxic pesticides,
and indirectly through a variety of effects of industrial farming, including
simple habitat loss. The solution?
Wait for it…
