"The future is already here — it's just not very evenly distributed" - Gibson
As design technologist we basically design the tech of the future, That's a lot of responsibility not only for people like me, but for all the people that is creating or using new technology around the world.
An unstoppable train is coming, before talking about cutting edge technologies as Blockchain, Artificial intelligence, Virtual Reality and all the amazing things that are going to change the world of the future, we have to talk about building a solid foundation for future's civilization!
We are going to discuss how to use and build technology wisely to help us in our development as humans. Millennials are showing really great potential to have a great impact in the world, they are also called the generation y (why) and that's because they are always asking why this! why that! they simply build "science" on top of science and they also are "very spirituals" we don't know yet how things are going to look like in the next couple of months, but something is clear, the revolution has already started and this is the right time to see the exponential growth of the civilization.
I like to thing about technology as the tool that perform unnecessary tasks to reach a human goal, so humanity can focus on perform optimal work to reach a goal by living the present moment.
What happen if you are in the present moment? I do things in excellence, my mind is clear and I end up doing the things that I love to do, what makes me happy, my own art, the best version of myself.
In summary technology reduces life complexity, does the tough work responsible for mental and physical pain (stress).With the advances in technology we can clean our minds to just focus in get the work done, Is a pain reliever to be what we ought to be.
There are other ways to reduce stress by using drug from sugar to deadly substances or spending time in the digital world rather than in the real life, basically avoiding reality.
That's a big reason to learn how use technology wisely, is shortcut to success.
