Can technology solve our problems?

Nowadays technology is innovating and discovering a lot of things that years ago seemed to be impossible. So I really believe in the power of technology and science in order to make human life better. So in my opinion the problem isn’t in the capacity of technology but the one of society. When I say society I mean the way of thinking, values, priorities. The problem is that in order to be able to develop technology it must have to exist a powerful purpose and the will to do it as well, as in the video of ted, the arrival to the moon,etc... . So I think we are totally able (technologically speaking) to solve big problems as puberty or cancer but to do it, all the attention should be concentrated, and the reality is that we use our technology resources in spite of doing other things that are useful but don’t solve big problems.
