Tech has solved[0] lots of social issues:

- access to general knowledge: Wikipedia

- safe transport for women at night: Find My Friends / Uber+Lyft

- access to government data: opendata initiatives, a plethora of cadastral map services

I'm going to say the obvious thing everyone is thinking. Everyone who has ever said "this is the core issue: you're trying to solve a social issue with technology" has never solved a social issue _or_ a technological issue and has no idea how to do it.

0: obviously I must clarify for this audience that "solved" in this context means that it has reduced the prevalence of some problem below some low base rate

>- safe transport for women at night

This was also solved using non-tech and hundreds of years ago. It's called a firearm.

Unfortunately the patriarchy has been clamping down on this to make it more difficult for women, who often have lower incomes, to get firearms that would better equalize their self defense capabilities. They impose FOID, licensing, and various other barriers to carry that are less affordable to women.

Firearms are literally technology. If you believe what you say you do, then you believe that this social problem was solved with technology.
