We have some experience now how technology created a lot more problems where we rushed into solutions without thinking of the consequences. It's experience based technoscepticism.
If social media could can polarize countries, imagine what a readily available reasoning engine can do.
The negativity in tech is largely scapegoating driven in my opinion. The slanderers behind the non-existent 'Techlash' haven't stopped any more than the idiots trying to ban actual non-backdoored cryptography. It is all so incredibly stupid to me yet people keep on falling for the crap often enough that I disengage with them entirely. And people basically look at me like I'm the crazy one for pointing it out.
