Technology does not solve human problems. Only humans do.

Context: I started as a young bright eyed optimist, that tech could be used to solve everything. Only to realise most problems in the world out there are not due to tech, but human nature.

Tech may at times make certain solutions - easier, cheaper, or harder to do so (possibly all 3 at the same time).

But ultimately only us humans can make our own selves better. With tech being the enabler to solutions previously too expensive, or too complicated.
