In a furious pursuit of multiple ‘next big things’, are we losing sight of what kind of new world we may end up creating?

Think about this. All the innovation the world has ever seen. From the dawn of mankind. All of it put together. It pales in insignificance compared to the innovation the world has seen in just the last five years. Completely dwarfed. That’s because we are in the single greatest phase of breakthrough leading edge technology the world has ever seen. And it’s compounding at an astonishing rate. Artificial intelligence, robotics, self driving vehicles, flying cars, gene editing, Internet of things, electric transportation, hyperloop trains faster than airplanes, foldable screens, self-healing materials, fusion batteries – it’s a smorgasbord of jaw-dropping tech that literally ‘changes everything’!
