The Internet linked our planet. It ignited an information age and now supports our connected era where humanity’s collective intelligence dials into boundless potential.

The vast, yet connected nature of cyberspace is what makes knowledge accessible to anyone. It makes communication instant, gives founders an ability to scale, and helps anyone find their tribe. As artificial intelligence (“AI”) taps into the treasure trove we’ve been building since the 1960s, we’ve seen how quickly technology can advance thanks to the endless contributions of generational leaders worldwide.

Heightened connectivity will take us into the deep future, but be wary of excessive consumption. With everything at our finger tips, it’s easy to get lazy. This can degrade our mental fitness with isolated ideology confidently misguided by algorithms. We may be the last generation to know what life was like offline. This enshrines a calling to embrace emerging technologies, but also to preserve the communal code that nature, experiential wisdom, relationships, and eccentricity uploads into the human experience.
