Think back to the year 1920. Your parents, grandparents or great-grandparents were living through a time of massive technological change. Railroads crossed the land, speeding the delivery of goods. Automobiles were displacing horse-powered transportation. The airplane was gaining capabilities to further disrupt old ways of work. And American households gathered around the radio for news and entertainment.
We are now one-fifth into the 21st Century and we are in just as revolutionary a time. We’ve seen computers give us radically new ways to collect and understand data. Medical technology is mitigating some of humankind’s biggest woes. Autonomous vehicles are poised to alter our means of transportation on the ground and air.
