Good question Sam Ursu. It’s certainly a subjective perspective. From an idealistic perspective I would hope that technology frees our bodies and minds to pursue the things that help us thrive, that connect us to each other in meaningful ways, and that help solve the major problems of our time. Imagine if we get to a place where access to technology is truly universal and anyone anywhere can access information. I’m thinking about the power of initiatives like Skype a Scientist that connect scientists to classrooms to show students what real scientists do in the field. How powerful to connect people together and in doing so improve their abilities and potentially their access to education? For me the operative word is always equity. If technology can improve equitable outcomes for all humans then I would call that an advancement!
