One of the reasons that a background in the Humanities is so important is that there are far too many uncritical and uninformed takes on tech.

For example, with the latest hype around AI, it's OK to have a position where you neither think it's the best thing in the world, ever, *nor* think that we're all doomed.

TBH my main medium-term concern for all this is that a lack of both technological and historical understanding means that politicians start outsourcing decision-making to algorithms.
