Writing in the latest issue of the New Republic, Christine Rosen takes on techno-utopians like Glen Reynolds and argues that blogging and WiFi will not save the world. As someone who ekes out an existence publishing online musings about new technologies and the developing world, I could not agree more. From my limited experience in the field, I have noticed that technological progress is all too often conflated with moral advancement. This is a mistake which must be recognized if new technologies are to be successfully integrated into the developing world.
