I never said technology can't help people improve their quality of life. Only that technology makes it harder not to be lazy, impatient, arrogant, etc. The fact is that people tend more towards selfishness, laziness, arrogance, impatience, annoyed irritation, etc. than their contrary virtues. Technology won't and can't change that. And every few months when a new iPhone app hits HN's front page claiming to be the solution to any of these human flaws, I can't help but roll my eyes. FitBits may be able to help a person change their dietary and exercising habits if they're already inclined to, but they can't make that person be inclined to in the first place.
