I think the next step is magic-from-technology. A time when technology is so advanced that nothing look like technology anymore, but something far more subtle.


I always imagined the future as a time of more reason, empathy, and peace, not less. It's time for a change.

We're currently High Technology, and then comes Ultra Technology, and after that comes magic-from-technology.
