Hi @ben-edom
Finally I found some time to read your post. Interesting choice of topic - upvoted already :)
Impact of tech advancements on our lifes, relationships, the way we work and think - it's all so difficult to predict. However it's obvious that things are changing and will continue to changing in rapid speed.
The gap between undeveloped countries and developed ones will only increase and many people will be left behind. Sometimes I'm wondering if I won't one day pack myself and move to one of those undeveloped countries. Far from people and technology. This idea feels very tempting.
Yours, Piotr
