As a young school boy, I was once tasked with a curious question: what would life be like in thirty years? My youthful imagination conjured images of a world where clapping hands would summon devices to life, a whimsical idea perhaps sparked by reruns of “Mork and Mindy.” Little did I know, my musings weren’t too far off from the unfolding reality.

I am fascinated by the advancement we have made in the last thirty years. In a world shaped by technology's rapid advance, the frontier of human potential has expanded beyond the imaginable.

As we contemplate the future of human evolution, we find ourselves standing at the crossroads of limitless possibilities, pondering the convergence of man and machine.

At the heart of this juncture lies the profound idea that technology is akin to psychology, a force driving the expansion of our network topology. Just as the human mind processes thoughts to influence actions, technology has become the catalyst for a digital psychology, molding our behaviours and shaping our connections in an interconnected world. Our minds have become malleable to technology.
