Combine that with the public sphere that is the internet, technology can mean really exciting things for humanity if we use it in the right way.
The social science academic in me can't wait to study the reaction to AI we'll have. Will conservatives hate it and try to prevent it from happening? Will new religions and cultures try to create separate societies free from technology, like the Amish do now? A guy I know in the masters program is doing his research on Christian apocalyptic scripture and technological singularity, its a good time for us who study religion and modern society.
