In many ways technology is evolving much faster than society, this causes confusion, alienation and bewilderment for many. The feeling of always being left behind. This is part of the reason for the fracturing of society. I think as the underlying tech becomes more invisible i.e. just part of the way things work, that society will move on to newer problems. Those problems will be very different to the ones our parents and grandparents faced.
One of the reasons that I write this is to try and demystify tech and show how it will improve our lot overall over time. How we react to that change will determine if we become happier or more fractured as a society.
Fascinating...technology is rocketing forward, and societies are falling backwards.
We'll soon have technology able to meaningfully improve our lives, but across the globe, we'll fail to implement same.
We're too busy polarizing within our countries, while authoritarianism (vs technological innovation) grows.
