Technology alone is not the answer Technology gives us more data, but not
always the capacity to do anything useful with it.
We struggle with relatively limited data already, why on earth would we want more of it?

And finally - etymology
“Resilience”
1620s, "act of rebounding," from Latin resiliens, present participle of resilire "to rebound, recoil," from re- "back" (see re-) + salire "to jump, leap" (see salient (adj.)). Cf. result (v.). Meaning "elasticity" is from 1824.
