3. Increased knowledge/intelligence Although the evolution through enhanced energy, materials and tools is happening, the most important and possibly radical evolution in this century is rooted in the exponential growth of knowledge and ability to tap onto this knowledge. This is different from genome evolution but it is closely tied …

Automation of Everything Automation has been a sort of mantra in the last fifty years, robots and assembly lines in manufacturing, routing in telecommunication networks, automation of medical exams analyses, more recently automation in coding of software … There is hardly an area that has not been affected by automation …
