Deep dives
The Role of Technology in Addressing Human Problems
Technology and science are often viewed as universal solutions to challenges, particularly practical issues like water, food, and energy. However, collective human challenges require more than just technological advancements; they demand thoughtful engagement from individuals. As connectivity has increased, so has the notion of being over-connected, causing some people to disconnect from meaningful, face-to-face relationships. The emphasis should be on using technology to nurture human connections rather than allowing screens to dominate our interactions.
