It is the dawn of a new existential era for humankind. Technology heretofore existed to assist human tasks. Machines now facilitate every aspect of our lives. They move us at 60mph, they raise us to the correct floor, they calculate our data, they wash our dishes, they condition our air; the robots do everything, they just need manual input from a human. The only logical next step is … let them decide. Let the cars drive. Let the subway systems manage public transportation. Let the irrigation systems water the plants. Let the computers compile data. We don’t need humans to gather in cubicles to input data anymore. We don’t need captains piloting ships. We don’t even need legislators. But, like divine helicopter parents, we can’t find the strength to let our babies free. Join Mat and Veronique as we read through the Terms of Service contract for the World of Tomorrow.
