The videos on the Technology-Society-Environment channel question a primary paradigm of our age: that advanced technology alone will extricate us from an ever increasing load of social, environmental, and economic ills. The videos show why negative unintended consequences of science and technology are inherently unavoidable and unpredictable, why counter-technologies, techno-fixes, and efficiency improvements do not offer lasting solutions, and why modern technology, in the presence of continued economic growth, does not promote sustainability but instead hastens collapse. The videos on the Technology-Society-Environment channel assert that technological optimism and the unrelenting belief in progress is based on ignorance, and that increasing consumerism and materialism, which have been facilitated by science and technology, have failed to increase happiness.
