I think there is a great truth to what you said, but the reduction of Tech to just media hides a set of critical and novel dangers in doing so.
Tech provides a new set of tools - both finely grained, invasive, and mass produce-able - which target areas of human existent earlier protected just because of how arcane and nebulous they were.
As human beings, we have many tendencies that are unguarded for buffer overflows, or malicious code injections.
With these tools, and corporate/shareholder incentives - firms and teams will run amok.
Its no longer just 1 way media, its now very close to mind invading media.
Sadly the only solution seems to be to ditch the smart phone whole.
