Techno-Optimism Is Techno-Stupidity

I recently read an article in the New York Times entitled "The Church of Techno-Optimism", which argues that the dominant ideology of Silicon Valley is techno-optimism, that technology will magically solve the world's problems, and that the state, the bureaucracy, the taxes are nothing more than obstacles to progress. The article is intended to be quite positive about this ideological movement, and I will try to defend the opposing thesis.
