It sort of bugs me when people who claim that a problem cannot be solved with technology act like that problem was caused by technology. You get both or neither, you can't have just one.
I'm with you in the first sentence, but the second doesn't make sense to me.
All 4 combinations of (not-)solved-by-tech and (not-)caused-by-tech are possible.
Of course you can. Technology can irreversibly change societies.
Do you have a technical solution to the potential for mutually assured destruction through nuclear weapons?
