So, It's others that have put forward the notion that there are some bad consequences of computer tech sort of taking over the broad definition of technology.

Neil Postman thinks it leads to diminished appreciation for what a caring teacher brings to a classroom - or lack of scrutiny about dubious innovations in medicine.

One consequence that I'm exploring here a little is that techies themselves can become less-well-rounded and then fail at team-based design and loose voice within the wider business culture.

It's Alistair Cockburn that suggests there are three moves in team-based design: invent, decide, communicate.

Techies can get out of whack if they get too narrowly focused on the technical details of invent - hoping that this will solve the various problems associated with a project.
