The future of humanity will depend on our ability to adapt to and work with technology and the way through to this goal is lifelong learning, author Thomas Friedman said at the Resnick Aspen Action Forum earlier this week.
In a video from The Aspen Institute, Friedman described this future through a conversation he had with Google X’s Astro Teller while researching for his new book Thank You for Being Late: An Optimist’s Guide to Thriving in the Age of Acceleration. Teller drew Friedman a graph which showed the rate of human adaptation versus rate of technological change over time and where we are at our point in history.
