Stephen Fry on the Future of Humanity and Technology
What if every technological revolution follows the same pattern: a box opened, a gift received, and a price paid?

The question he leaves us with isn't whether to open the box — it never was — but whether we can hold onto hope long enough to find what's waiting at the bottom.
