How Humanity’s Deepest Longing And Beauty Are Hidden In Technology<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technology is advancing at an exponential rate. It’s overwhelming. And while there are countless technical domains that I cannot speak about with any expertise, I can talk about one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My domain is communication media. And it, like all the others, is advancing wildly, exponentially, and in seemingly unpredictable ways with no end imaginable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, what has taken me years to realize is that counter to popular assumption, there is nothing unpredictable about the progression of technical advancement in communucation media, and that the progression does indeed have an actual end-state, a technical state afterwhich no further technical development will be sought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What honestly surprised me most of all was that this end-state revealed something core, and beautiful about humanity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
