Tech Companies and Big Issues
It seems to me that tech companies are not really out to solve the big problems in the world, they just want to get the smaller ones out of the way and move on. This is with the exception of internet phone services because it has reaches that have yet to be seen. When communication services become that much more affordable, it is easy to see it as a solution to one of the biggest problems. This idea was highlighted by how the CEO of Facebook and other large companies have been pushing for internet access in remote places. Anyone who does not live under a rock has heard the quote, "With great power comes great responsibility." There is an imbalance in tech companies and therein lies the problem. Power without responsibility corrupts. The leaders of tomorrow are the young college graduates that need to not just learn how to create the innovative technology but the extent of their responsibilities with that type of power.
