How the Media Is Killing Technological Progress

We do really really need to figure out how to better syndicate & share everyday efforts at tech, those doing maybe humble things but toiling for better.

Glad to see articles like this. Very real tension; I believe so much in progress but so much tech is esoteric or arcane. Getting good spirited efforts out & appreciable is saintly work that will keep this planet spinning. A necessary start for getting humanity socially reconnecting with this pool of potential.

I'm not sure that article addressed the assertion in the title: how is media killing technological progress? I would have called it "The Media Still Exists" or "Media Is Still Not Your Friend." I would agree with both assertions and they would both be closer to the content of the article.

> "How do we create media that supports progress, positivity and competing opinions?"

This doesn't seem possible within the attention economy which rewards engagement while engagement is driven mainly by anger.
