Unless technology helps us to work better, faster and with more accuracy, it is useless. Context, intelligence, and user experience must come together in focus and practical applications are important. Constant technological revolution makes planning difficult and society that stops planning for the future is likely to become a brittle society. It could experience violent economic swings. Change that is too rapid can be deeply divisive, if only an elite can keep up, the rest of us will grow increasingly mystified about how the world works.
