The Renaissance of the fifteenth century had geniuses like Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Nicolaus Copernicus, and Christopher Columbus. The more recent technological renaissance has innovators like the late Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Elon Musk, and Jeff Bezos, and their impact has been just as great?if not greater?than their predecessors. Joseph Antony Pulikkottil explores where we are headed with new technologies in Grey Matter Dialogues, which focuses on how technological advances will benefit mankind in an economic sense. We can already see the effects of this advance: for instance, a baby born today can expect to live longer than at any previous point in history, and poverty continues to decline at a dramatic pace. This progress is the result of interconnected economies and improved medical care. The expansion of trade and the jobs it has created has raised incomes, boosted competition, and lowered the prices of goods and services while increasing their quality. Explore the economics of science and technology from the food that we eat to the volume of data that’s generated on the web with this detailed examination of where we stand, and more importantly, where we are headed.
