In the 2010s, my childhood friend's dad, a free-spirited french '68er, refused to buy a cell phone. He wanted to be "free," he'd say. No one bugging him, no one reaching him.
Last week I saw him in the street of my hometown. Flip phone in hand.
Funny how that goes. Some revolutions just end up inevitable.
Got me thinking about robots. In 10 years, are we really ready to see them in our streets, our fields, our homes ? Honestly, I get the skeptics. This tech is going to reshape our lives in ways none of us can fully predict.
But then, what about firefighter robots ? Robot doctors ? The ones that just save people ?
Hate data centers all you want, until the research they enable saves someone you love.
