Technology.....
I believe the introduction of ABS in production cars just led to bigger, more spectacular accidents....
At my old job at the beeb, I was always banging on about how technology was almost irrelevant, it was people and organisation and communication that led to gains and improvement. The next big project was a huge networked production system costing circa £60M, and nothing spent on how people might work together better, communicate better, organise better etc etc. I left.
At best, "improved technology" exchanges one bunch of idiosynchrasies for a new bunch.
More relevant to aviation - As long as information is presented unambiguously by the hardware, there is far more scope for it to be miss-interpreted, ignored, forgotten, missed, etc by the warmware.
