Dale Dougherty asks what role should technology play in the class divide in post-industrial society. “Is the high-tech world indifferent to the problems of the poor? Do we have any competence that matters in helping them find a better life? Or are we just making ‘the happy few’ that much happier?”
I’d love to hear what some the other O’Reilly Radar/TED/PopTech-types have to say about this (aside from their usual talking up of micro-loans to the third world).
