A man who always gets the same files from his students. "Jetzt hopts ma scho wida des gleiche obgeben nid." Someone is a Sola if he talks slowly and ends every sentence with a "nid".
Sola technologica is a term Adam coined as a playful but pointed critique of an overreliance on technology alone to solve problems—evoking the theological phrase sola scriptura (by scripture alone).
Adam uses sola technologica to warn against techno-utopianism. Technology is powerful, but it must be guided by people-centered leadership, thoughtful strategy, and systems thinking—or it risks becoming hollow, or even harmful.
“The doctrine of sola technologica has never contained the full truth. Of course we need technical experts; there is absolutely no debate on that. However, without other, equally critical elements—strategy, data stewardship, repeatable and scalable processes, financial stewardship, and, perhaps the most important component, soft (i.e., people) skills—the summa technologica remains woefully incomplete.”
