i've been blessed all my life with being voraciously curious about everything, not just te so i especially loved technology as a young man. So i started keeping journals at about aged 18, and i was re reading one that i wrote when i was 21. And the whole first part of it was the effects that technology were going to have on our future. It is straight up explanentially, because we're all carry super computers in our pockets now. But which you see are these massive, massive changes, some of which are incredibly good for people with certain skill sets. Others, unfortunately, are going to be affected negatively.
