Physically, life for humankind has improved immeasurably over the last fifty years. Yet there is a crisis of progress slowly spreading across the world.

These inventions will undoubtedly change our lives, but the question is, to what end?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat do we want these technologies to achieve on our behalf?
