“Technology Is Not The Solution!”

I read the above sentiment from educators, or something like it, regularly on Twitter. I understand the intent. We are living through this incredibly difficult time, and the technology will not magically solve all of our problems.

But, every time I see these tweets it leaves me feeling unsettled.

The digital divide is real and it is large. For those with resources, both in terms of hardware and knowledge, to go on about how those resources are not enough feels unseemly.

Technology is not enough, but you need to have enough technology. Most people who tell you that “technology is not the solution” have great technology.
