As a counterpoint to this, I'll reference the (absolutely incredible) Do the Math blog, by Tom Murphy at UCSD.

A salient quote from the first article, that I find very relevant:

> We have developed an unshakable faith in technology to address our problems. Its track record is most impressive… But we have to be careful about faith, and periodically reexamine its validity or possible limits.
