True.Been thinking exactly this for a good while now. We can actually see a lot of this right now re: climate change, economic and employment challenges, international relations, big data, etc.
Industrialization was great. But we didn't think about climate impact.
Social media was fun. But we didn't know what to expect when the whole world is given a platform to spew all the bullshit they want. Fake news, hate speech etc.
Globalization was great until ideologies of different countries started to clash.
We are slowly adapting to these changes by learning from our mistakes. But it will take around a century for us to fix the problems and be mature enough to handle them. I am pretty sure that the another technological revolution is going to come through before we even fix the existing problems and we might all be screwed eventually.
