Technology cannot replace society. It is good to have a progressive vision for the future in which technological change plays a constructive part but the preexisting cultural character and material constraints of the world as it exists will play an important role regardless.

Not even the internet has done that: It has only provided a new forum for the old debates and conflicts to continue to play out.
