How do we prepare for the next phase of technology?

As some of us may know, technology is merely an interface. It is meant as a means to an end, for the sake of connecting people together, and in new and powerful ways. For, at least, the last 10 years, most of us have certainly been witness to this simple fact, but not many have come to realize that our current approach to technology is incomplete and fragmented. This lack of integrity in the whole of the approach has left many people more disconnected and confused then before we had the Internet or worse are now so grossly invested in the new indulgent ways that we can connect frivolously, that they are in a worse shape than those less experienced. The Internet, and all technologies associated with, surrounding, and even outside and on the peripheri of, are all intended to serve us in some way. To make things easier, faster, more powerful, or to take pressure off of us, to do things for us or provide more information or access more quickly than we can alone. This is for the sole purpose of enabling people to connect more often and more powerfully. Now that I have that out of the way, that tells us where we are and are not. But what about where we are going or where it is possible for us to go. Since the original idea of a way to connect to share information by way of digitized text through a means now called the World Wide Web, there has always been an additional view that this WWW would simply be a foundation for a more powerful level or phase of technology where less was being done by humans and more was being done by machines. This has always been part of the original concept and idea. So, where does this leave us? What do we do now? How can we best prepare for this next phase of technology? One that has always been intended from the start, but is not quite here in full swing yet. Now, knowing that the next phases of technology will be doing more for us and allowing us to do other things, but without knowing exactly what it will look like, I believe there are some key mo vements that we should be focusing on in the present moment. We should be simplifying our overall approach to technology, we should be staying focused on our business practices and how closely they resemble our actual business and how often they are reviewed and updated, we should be attending to our relationships and beginning to build powerful teams of people and supplementing them with the tools they need to thrive. Without knowing all of the ways that technology will expand from where it is now, we need to clear the way, by eliminating all of the fires and critical items that stand in our way. This is important because as technology is grown exponentially, not only will the current fires and issues be such small dealings, but we will be left with any and all breakdowns in our teams of people. The future will hold that all humans can finally get to what we were meant to do, connect deeply, serve and heal to the next level.
