The future is here
The document discusses how digitizing the human experience can allow us to control our own world through monitoring our homes, families and activities. It also addresses how digitization enables control of others through remote monitoring of employees and automation. Finally, it explores how technology can help communities by providing access to tools, services and knowledge sharing to promote independent development. The document advocates choosing technologies that put humans first and promote relationships rather than concentrating power or replacing human jobs with machines.
