It's true that most people don't care about most things since they operate inside a small, simple world without being concerned with the things outside of their immediate experience. Not that it's necessarily a bad thing; many individuals have gone insane trying to solve the problems of the world. I myself only want a quiet life without hassle.
Societal and technological change are the result of the work of a small minority, which may very roughly correspond to the 20/80 Pareto principle. You can't expect everyone to be involved in complex conundrums. So it doesn't matter if the majority don't care about an issue. That doesn't mean we shouldn't do something about it.
