I used sarcasm to make the same point: life is not a Disney movie. Why was the bicycle, a very simple machine, invented 100 years after the steam engine, a very complex one? My theory: the idea of auto-motion had to be invented first. I ima

On the contrary, it is tech (sw, ai, bio, solar, crypto, etc) that will save society, or better said: help us move forward. Now more than ever we can witness how tech is helping us go through the pandemic. Yes, there are ugly uses of tech (
