Today, we can conjure up a video conversation with people from around the globe in the palm of our hand and chat with humans in outer space. Our mobile phones hold many times more information than what was contained in the Great Library of Alexandria. That same device is tens of millions of times faster than the computers that landed Apollo on the moon. As science fiction author Arthur C. Clarke predicted, our technology would appear like magic to generations past....
