This young man has a vision for our future. Watch the embedded video and determine if the world is ready for this technology. We may not have a choice because its already been developed. Thoughts to ponder: How many other teenagers or younger people are there in the world with the capacity to do this? Are we at risk? IS the world ready for a teenage Einstein? I think this young man is a visionary but we must also consider some of the potential ramifications if this technology were to fall into the hands of a rogue government or terrorists that have a nefarious idea to thwart this for their own purpose. What do you think?
