My children are quite young. The world is going to be an amazingly interesting place when they are my age.
I can recall the first time I ever saw a computer and how primitive they now look.
Now we have little bots that listen to you and reply with info.
When my two-year-old is forty - we will have ghost in the shell.
It's crazy beautiful and scary to me that we all grew up reading cyberpunk fiction and watching anime and not all of us did, but pretty much all of us are actually building that future.
There is a balance between dystopia and utopia though.
We are all working at the Great Game - and the future is going to be interesting, but we can never turn back. So hopefully we keep the balance and get it right.
My worry is that at this literal nascent stage of technology, that we don't fuck it up as we don't fight hard enough for privacy policy.
We need privacy policy that is thinking at least 50 years in advance.
The control of government apparatus is thinking in advance - I personally feel that the tech sector's vision is myopically focused on today's profits and not in the future where it should be viewing, with the exception of this most recent case between apple and the FBI. At least Cook's comments were salient and forward thinking and truly for the greater good... Let's hope that invigorates the tech industry as a whole to think about where we are headed.
