I can't disagree enough with this. Not everything needs to be understood in a technical context. Technology intersects with society, and understanding its impacts on that society is vital.

Or in other words: the humanities are good.

I'll clarify in case it helps - need everyone at the table, not just only tech (or non-tech only) as you may be assuming.

Technology takes without a tech perspective present can greatly skew it.

I'm not referring to a technology context at all. Just like you shouldn't trust the IT department to run accounting... the opposite will also vary.

Not being able to track the possibilities and capabilities of a type of software that is unlike the software before it can really outdate things quickly.
