While technology may not be the entire problem, it is still part of the problem. But I don't really think it's about the type of technology or how fast we as a society society are adapting to new technologies. I think it's about how good we're using the tools available to us to our advantage.
Of course with new information or new discoveries comes new challenges, but those who position themselves at the forefront of the core developments gets to benefit as well. Not as easy as it sounds.
Government regulations and societal acceptance can go a long way to helping how this things affect us as a people.
There are still ways can can learn if we plug ourselves positively into the core of changes occurring around us.
