Humans are special creatures, in part because of our relationship with out technology. Our brains are not purely biological, we actually think through our tools. Over centuries, things like the telescope have allowed us to view and understand the secrets of the universe, film and computation has allowed us to manipulate time to see hidden patterns of the world, Augmented and Virtual Reality is allowing us to shape our perception of the world, and Machine Learning could open up boundless untapped knowledge we鈥檝e never been able to process.

But in the digital age, the rate of change is happening so quickly, we don鈥檛 notice it day to day. We鈥檙e so busy we don鈥檛 stop to examine, or appreciate, how technology might change the paradigm of the world we all live in.
