Toby Ford
Ode to a Future You; Truly Freed by Automation
When I was younger I believed in a future where automation and robots would free us of the mundane. This hasn't happened. In actuality, we live in a world of 24x7, of too much information, of despotic bureaucracy, and of piled on complexity. We must revolt and require more from a new future. We must direct a new future toward advances which lead to a re-imagined age of creativity and freedom for all.
