Many of the problems facing the nation and the world today may only be solved if their technical elements are understood - climate change, energy supply, health care, and infrastructure, to name just a few.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Technology causes problems as well as solves problems. Nobody has figured out a way to ensure that, as of tomorrow, technology won't create problems. Technology simply means increased power, which is why we have the global problems we face today.
There are some problems that technology can't solve.
Many of the issues we face in dealing with rapid climate change are well suited to an engineering mind.
There are plenty of problems in the world, and doubtless climate change - or whatever the currently voguish phrase for it all is - certainly is one of them. But it's low on my list.
Technology will definitely solve all our problems, but in the process it will create brand new ones. But that's O.K. because the most you can expect from life is to get to solve better and better problems.
The planet's biggest problems have to do with sustainability, environmental decline, global poverty, disease, conflict and so forth. Really, they're all interconnected - it's one big problem, which is that the way we're doing things can't go on.
The chief cause of problems is solutions.
Not all problems have a technological answer, but when they do, that is the more lasting solution.
Every problem can be solved as long as they use common sense and apply the right research and techniques.
These are national problems that require national solutions.
