The idea has merit but it now depends on the mindset of those techies with the most influence and money. And those people are likely not motivated by altruism as they still have primitive hunter/gatherer ape minds wired for US vs Them. So the first step toward any kind of tech renaissance must be to literally change everyone's minds so they would override their primitive selfish instincts and get on with the business of what John Lennon sang about in "Imagine."
