I’m totally excited about that fact as well. The issue I see in my line of work is that too often the technology becomes the solution, without solving the underlying human issues that are just beneath the surface. A combination of social and technological prowess is the best way to solve issues of the “Human Network”.

Interestingly, I’m one of those people who comes from a technical background and transitioned into a social career, and so maybe my perspective is biased, but I honestly feel that left brain and right brain related sciences (social vs. tech) are most effective when combined.

Still, I heart your article and your views! :)

The exciting part is that technology, if used properly, can actually help solve the human problems!

Working in the Federal government sector has allowed me to be conscious of the problems with already big agencies try to consolidate anything even more than it is already consolidated. And yes, I agree that many of the problems are more related to human problems and not technology ones!
