I think it's because we still haven't figured out how to architect how economy and society properly. We better systems to promote good outcomes.
Technology has always been a means to an end -- I say that as someone which has always been fascinated by tech, due to my attraction to understanding, creativity and invention.

I am working with a friend on a system to better reward websites and technologies without requiring advertisements. Think a small payment going to every website you visit, every service you use automatically. You would get some control over how to distribute those payments. Maybe we could set up worldwide funds that reward software based on their contributions to society. You could have local institutions suggesting and supporting funding projects -- distributed, democratic, rational, fair, .
Jane Goodall has been saying all humanity needs to flourish is to get 'the head and the heart' to work in harmony -- which I think means to say we need a society where our work, and our tech, and everything is contributing to make the world awesome -- to promote sustainability, to make healthy happy lives, to make rich amazing existences.
We kind of have the tools at our disposal... this century is a very decisive one, where we show that we are capable of growing and achieving an amazing civilization (and not collapse due to environmental ruin, greed, conflict).
