By facing the challenge and basically, doing it.

Technology is a generic thing. A garden trowel is technology, so if you use that to plant really awesome healthy tomatoes, you're using technology.

I should specify new technology. In the past, new technology was the way we produced more with less. Now, if we are solving a different problem (producing better or throttling desire for more food/entertainment), what kinds of new technology matter most?

If you mean throttling your desire for food and entertainment: find something useful to do.
If you mean throttling my desire for food and entertainment: good luck, lol.
No tech needed.
