I continue to enjoy Evegeny Morozov's dissenting voice against the blind adoption of innovative technology as the solution to, not just some, but all, social and political problems.
Reminds me of Neil Postman's prescient warning that in the United States, more than in any other developed nation, technology will displace culture. It's now slated to displace politics and even some fundamental substructures of society.
The most recent scandal is the evolving concept of "virtual incarceration," to solve the problem of overcrowding in prisons in the United States.
Morozov also speaks out against the foibles of Big Data here.
