We live in an amazing time with technology creating unbelievable opportunities to all the present and future generations.
The phone in your pocket has more computing power than the computers we used to send a person to the moon.
Robots and AI are experimenting insanely wild developments.
Healthcare and current developments in personal genomics and personalized medicine speak for themselves.
AR/VR are finally becoming a reality that may change education and collaboration (I’m more sceptic to entertainment use cases).
And I could keep going on…
But what truly amazes me are the opportunities that technology is creating to democratize knowledge and empower people.
To prove my point, let me start by a not so new example, fallowed by a second, that reinforces that we are in fact in a time of empower and Inspiration.
1. Jack Andraka Jack Andraka is just a kid. A kid that at the age of 15 just invented a new test for pancreatic cancer.
2. Labster Labster is a VR project that aims to disrupt the way we teach students about lab work in the hope of ‘empowering the next generation of scientists to save the world’.
Just imagine the future if we can empower and inspire all the Jack Andraka’s in the world with all this new tools and possibilities! We may actually save the world!
