Here’s what I hope is an uplifting thought about the future. There is a chance that as we increasingly fuse our physical, biological and digital worlds, we will slowly start to see that we are not just individuals, but part of something so much greater. We will start to see that everything connects and that we are part of, and in our own way responsible for, a whole that’s not only very big, but totally unique within the known universe.

As the Buddhist said to the hot dog vendor: “make me one with everything.”
