Update Feb 22: If you like this video, please have a look at my latest short film “The Good Future” right here on YT    • The Good Future: Beautiful, inspiring...   and subscribe to my newsletter at http://www.gerd.digital

How technology is changing humanity, and how we should deal with that, is certain to become the #1 topic for the foreseeable future. “Humanity is changing more in the next 20 years than in the previous 300 years" - this is a quote from the film that pretty much says it all. Going forward, a lot of my work will be dedicated to this challenge/opportunity. Watch this film, and please let me know what you think, and please comment or share the film if you enjoy it. Thanks! New hashtag as of today: http://gerd.fm/techvshuman, i.e. @techversushuman
