Problems

Before adopting any new technology or considering something a "solution" we must sincerely ask;

• What is the problem that this new technology addresses?
• Who's problem is it?
• What problems do we create by solving this problem?
• Which people and which institutions might be harmed by a technological solution?
• What changes in language occur as the result of technological change?
• Which people and which institutions will acquire economic and political power when this technology is adopted?

These were published by [Neil Postman] in his famous book Technopoly. Today they are vital if we are to avoid the [The AI Con].
