I think it's the human need to believe that we are seeing or have created something new under the sun.
When in actuality, we aren't. We haven't.
Technology: it is the ultimate panacea WHILE simultaneously being the ultimate scapegoat, if you use media as your cue (talk aboutta paradox!). Which is why it's best not to do that. Many in the media strike me as having deeply Luddite sympathies (even reflexively so), even subconsciously.
Or maybe their tendencies are not Luddite but rather ARE toward looking for every explanation but the most rational one (or for trying to oversimplify what is, in actuality, a pretty complex thing [how kids get so screwed up]).
