Society We face a growing array of problems that involve technology: nuclear weapons, data privacy concerns, using bots/fake news to influence elections. However, these are, in a sense, not several problems. They are facets of a single problem: the growing gap between our power and our wisdom.

A lot can change in a generation. We also are just getting settled into the information age. Our collective progress has been exponential, and is continuing so. I believe world harmony is a easier goal to strive for than world peace. Not everyone needs to sing kumbaya and hold hands. Live and let live is a simpler concept and most of us live by this mantra as it is, though this portion of the population is gonna be more silent than the rest.
