The Cloud Revolution – Mark P. Mills

According to author Mark P. Mills, the next ten years will see a technological convergence that will lead to an economic boom that will be referred to as the Roaring 2020s. Instead of a single major innovation, the technological advancements that will be made will be in multiple areas, such as computers, materials, and machines. The building blocks of all of these new innovations are being developed with supernatural qualities. The increasing number of machines and their ability to transport a wide variety of goods are contributing to the technological revolution. The Cloud, which was founded on the principles of artificial intelligence and next-generation processors, is allowing this to happen.

 

The New Breed: On Robots and Animals – Kate Darling

According to Darling, robots will not replace humans in any way, and they will complement each other just as humans have done with animals in the past.
