Technology is an opportunity to shape the future…

Technology is not a threat to our future, it's an opportunity to SHAPE the future!

That was the topic of my recent keynote at the California School Boards Association Annual Education Conference.

In addition to Star Trek references and stories of invention from my book Inventing the Future - Stories From a Techno-Optimist, my call to action is that in order to shape the future we want to see, we need to do three things:

1. Make sure all voices are heard. Democratize opportunity.
2. Stay curious and exercise your own creativity muscle!
3. Be a techno-optimist, see technology as an opportunity:
...to make us stronger and healthier.
...to us achieve things we couldn't to do without it, and
...to create an equitable future.
