Silicon Valley Would Rather Cure Death Than Make Life Worth Living | WIRED

Emily Dreyfuss from WIRED wrote an article about why Silicon Valley contributes to inequality by focusing on cool technological innovation instead of targeting real-world problems. The piece is titled “Silicon Valley Would Rather Cure Death Than Make Life Worth Living”—a provocative but probably accurate title. And while there sure are exceptions (as there are always exceptions), we should remember to not blindly glorify tech, especially if it doesn’t engage with real problems.
