A “product” of any kind will not solve our problems.
A phone is a product, and it solves a lot of problems.
I used to print out mapquest directions to wherever I drove. Now I can just use navigation so I seldom miss turns on dark streets anymore.
Products can solve problems, that's why people pay for them
I think they mean existential problems, like our belligerent lumbering towards the violent self-destruction of humanity.
This is exactly what I meant.
A product is something created by an organization ( in our case corporations) to make money. Period.
The fact it can make our lives easier is a secondary side effect. The way these products are made can ( and usually do) exacerbate our problems.
Solutions ? Nah.
