Technology Alone Won't Save Us
summary
Claim: trends behind technology, not apps or startups alone, enable solutions to global grand challenges. Evidence: 80 participants from 35 countries form small interdisciplinary teams at Singularity University to build (not just study) projects; compute power now means cell phones faster than the fastest supercomputer of the 1990s and cloud/Watson can be queried by text; hardware shifts like small satellites for a few hundred thousand dollars and Lunar XPrize robots show capability to build and deploy.
