Your excellent thoughts on technology reminded me of an old Arthur C. Clarke quote: “Before you become too entranced with gorgeous gadgets and mesmerizing video displays, let me remind you that information is not knowledge, knowledge is not wisdom, and wisdom is not foresight. Each grows out of the other, and we need them all.”
Those are great questions. I think the important thing is for people to stop and think about what all this change means. You're helping by posing some general questions to get the idea flow going here, so you'll have my support.

Thanks for sharing, Dave. A good word for our current era where we are heavy on information and often far too light on wisdom and foresight.

Thanks Andrew! Exactly right about getting people to stop and ask questions. Curiosity is so powerful.
My short list of questions is by no means exhaustive, but I hope they can help serve as a starting place for these important conversations.
Indeed. Put 'em out there!
