Historically, technology has always outpaced mankind's ability to make the best use of the technology. Take Einstein's theory of relativity and the nuclear bomb. The awesome power of nuclear energy was not used for generating energy to benefit mankind but to destroy mankind. Human nature will never be able to keep pace with the rapidity of technological progress because there are a multiplicity of innovations but only one human race. The key is management of technology rather than technology managing us. As the PPT video said, the PPT is the assistant to the presenter. Yet the presenter must have the wisdom and skill to ensure that the PPT remains the assistant and not the presenter.
After all we wouldn't want to have the unintended consequences of technological innovation blow up in our face; would we?
