Pray, what oracle can accurately divine the marvels which await humankind in the age to come?
Will we step into cars that soar to lofty heights?
Will we grow accustomed to robots putting in long shifts as workers on the factory floor or as nurses tending to the needs of the afflicted in our hospitals?


And, will the age to come present humanity with the first-ever β€˜designer baby’ by virtue of the miracle or curse of gene-editing, which many have likened to man playing God?
So, so many questions to which no conclusive answers have yet to be formed.
As we stand, then, on the very cusp of an unimaginably unprecedented, new age, let us endeavor to tread warily and cautiously lest we lose our footing.

The End
