Why is context so important? Why is experience valuable? Why are "wicked" problems hard to figure out? Why are we obsessed with making an app for everything? Why do we need a diverse group of people to actually figure out complex problems? Nicholas King, Assistant Professor at McGill University, tells us why we need to overcome our solutionistic tendencies, that is, finding tech-focused solutions to social problems. Just as our collective wisdom helps "the village raise a child", we now, more than ever, need the village to solve wicked problems.
