Money and greed drive everything, and people vainly look to technology to magically solve problems without them having to make the minor sacrifices involved in the obvious solutions that already exist.

Group too many humans together and we are incapable of selecting long term benefits over short term ones - tragedy of the commons.

Edit: 'everything' is an obvious exaggeration above, though we were discussing the world of business where it's more true.
