Technology and the lack of learning resources.

I find it worrisome how many people blame technology for their shortcomings, rather than actually working on them. It has become easier to say that technology is to blame, rather than working to better oneself.

All technology is just a tool we use for a mean, yet not everyone is being trained to make the best use of the new technologies relevant to their needs. That is why so many people find themselves displaced by new technologies, they simply don't have access to the training they need to be able to make use of them in a relevant way.

The fear of new technologies is not unfounded. Yet it could be easily put aside if the training needed to make the best use of it was widely available, so that people could actually know what those technologies are about and use them to look for work.

At the end, education is what is most lacking. Not everyone is getting the education they need to be able to deal with how technology is changing the world around them, and they are being left behind. Most importantly, the jobs being lost aren't being replaced fast enough, creating a lot of resentment.

The lack of access to education, and quality education, is what widening the divide and what is behind the lack of trust on the emerging technologies. While technology holds promise, not all can make good on that promise.
