It is natural to assume I am something of a digital enthusiast, even a "techno-utopian", confident that digital technology will lead us to nirvana. However, the very opposite is true. My basic concern is simple: there is a fantastic mismatch between our "emotional-spiritual" maturity -- our wisdom -- and our “techno-intellectual” capacities -- our powers. We face a large, and growing, wisdom gap: a gap between the powers we have and the wisdom to wield them well. With that gap being driven in large part through digital tech.
