“Typically we paint a rosy picture of the future. We think technology will bring great prosperity to the world. The benefits of technology will far outweigh the perils and dangers that are so often the focus of people’s mindset. However, it would be remiss of us not to delve into some of the potential dangers of technology. And thus in understanding the good that comes from tech, it’s important to understand the darkness that also comes with breakthroughs and innovation. To paraphrase Churchill, don’t run from it, confront these issues and you might have a part in making sure the future of our world sides with the good technology can bring, not the dark side.”
