technologists often make the mistake of ignoring the sociopolitical context of some problem and try to solve it entirely using technology

nontechnicals do the same thing, but in reverse, blaming technology for sociopolitical failures; where does this tendency stem from?

somewhat easier to fixate on the legible explicit component of some dysfunction, even if its not the more relevant part
