By facing the challenge and basically, doing it.

Never expect someone else to solve problems for you; if you find something important, be the change.

Separate question but related to the main idea... what role does technology play in this change?

Technology is a generic thing. A garden trowel is technology, so if you use that to plant really awesome healthy tomatoes, you're using technology.

I should specify new technology. In the past, new technology was the way we produced more with less. Now, if we are solving a different problem (producing better or throttling desire for more food/entertainment), what kinds of new technology matter most?

If you mean throttling your desire for food and entertainment: find something useful to do.

If you mean throttling my desire for food and entertainment: good luck, lol.

No tech needed.
