Quote by Jared Diamond
Technology causes problems as well as solves problems. Nobody has

Technology causes problems as well as solves problems. Nobody has figured out a way to ensure that, as of tomorrow, technology wont create problems. Technology simply means increased power, which is why we have the global problems we face today. – Jared Diamond
