The Perils of Using Technology to Solve Other People's Problems (theatlantic.com)

I really enjoyed this article because it doesn't grab the most immediate reaction to a poor attempt to solve a complex social problem through technology. A knee-jerk response to that might be to condemn technologists and "solutionists" for even trying.

This guy is smart enough to acknowledge that while technology alone cannot solve complicated social issues, it can and often is a part of the whole solution.
