The tech industry is missing humanity

The following is a good piece of advice from the best-selling author of The Fuzzy and the Techie: Why the Liberal Arts Will Rule the Digital World , Scott Hartley:

We’ve too long, too falsely believed in the monotheism of technology, of learning to code. If we simply get enough people studying science, technology, engineering, and math, we will progress to a fruitful world of low unemployment and high productivity—or so the argument goes. But what we forget in endless hashtags and coding bootcamps is that without an appreciation for our own humanity, this optimization is mechanistic.
