This article discusses the current sense of techno-pessimism that many people have, with regards to new technologies such as social media, e-commerce, and artificial intelligence. The author argues that this sense of pessimism is not new and has been around for centuries, with each new technology bringing both benefits and drawbacks. The author also highlights the importance of weighing the pros and cons of new technologies and avoiding a "technology trap" where fears about technology's drawbacks deny access to its benefits. The article concludes by stating that while there are growing doubts about societies' abilities to hold debates and come up with good answers to technology-related problems, history has shown that the technological transformation has helped curb ancient evils and that the solution to current problems requires more technology, not less.
