Here are some extracts that hit me between the eyes 

Has Facebook, google and amazon colonised the globe?

Is the 4th revolution and the giant disruption that is coming going to make the Internet age look like a Lotus 1-2-3 decimal upgrade?

We want that toy. It’s shiny! Can’t wait for autonomous flying cars! Like the Jetsons! Whoo-whee.

The phone and related tech has made us selfish and greedy and  denial and blame and sneakiness is prevalent!

We have become automated bots and faceless avatars - bearing to the drum of subliminal messages!

We were born - but are beings have become “made”

Tech is taking  away some of our humanity, or at least what’s left after the Industrial Age,  the Information Age and now the age of robotics, AI and the IoT where we are becoming the things .
