We are living in a fascinating era on the verge of new discoveries and exponential technologies that will shape our lives and societies in ways we can only begin to imagine.

Some are comparing technology to medicine, while others are insisting that without art technology cannot go forward.

What new disruptions are just waiting to happen and what new crossroads will these create? What new human urges will technology address? What new businesses and addictions will be created?

What new ethics and cultural norms will we need to establish?

Will humans become more technology augmented or will technology become more human? And what technology should we aspire to create?

TEDxFIAP ‘Technologies of the Future’ will gather local and international thinkers to help us understand where we’re heading. Come join us.
