Can Tech Really Help World Peace?


The one thing technology doesn’t provide us with is a sense of how to make the best use of technology.
Pico Iyer • The Art of Stillness: Adventures in Going Nowhere (TED Books)

The more powerful communication technologies become, the more people will fight wars over words instead of territory. Language, when wielded at scale, is among man's most powerful weapons.

The thing that I find most beautiful about technology generally is the possibility that we could use it to come up with a different way of seeing people, and a way to be more compassionate to one another, and we can use it to simulate what that might look like.
