I agree for the most part, but what I really would like to be moving towards is a break from that cycle of power shifts. There is tech that empowers those that use it well and there is tech that undermines the structure of power. Generally we get both, and the result is a power shift. A continuous cycle of shifts. A negative feedback loop.

What happens if we have a positive feedback loop? Tech that undermines without empowering someone else? Or tech that empowers with out undermining older power structures. That takes us towards a break in the cycle, a shift in the patterns. A risky path, but I've never been risk shy...
