Somewhere there is a real argument against technological solutionism, but it's not here. This is a shallow rant against nothing real because everything Morozov hates he either intentionally misrepresents or grossly misunderstands. Open to almost any page and you'll realize that almost no effort was made to understand the reality of, or motivations behind the “problems” at which he directs his self-righteous indignation.
Try The Shallows by Nick Carr for a better, more thoughtful approach to the problems of the Internet and technology.
