Humanity & Technology Contrast

HUMANITY & TECHNOLOGY A COMPUTER ON EVERY 1 DESK IN EVERY HOME. - Bill Gates ТОTAL We are dealing with data at an exponential rate. We are overwhelmed with information, and our capacity grows everyday. Already computer and mobile devices outnumber us - more phones are sold every day than babies born. Eric Schmidt believes that by 2020, the whole world will be connected to itself. We are slowly but surely heading towards a world envisioned only in science fictions. POPULATION 7.14bn Wherein we examine the boundaries of information we break every day, continuously reaching newer heights .
