Technology has given mankind a new ability and as a result I believe we are on the cusps of a new revolution. Similar to the transformation stages of the cognitive revolution, the internet has made sapiens able to transmit larger quantities of info about the world. Additionally, it has also given us the ability to transmit larger quantities of information about social relationships and about things that do no "really" exist. Considering the wider consequences outlined by Harari due to the cognitive revolution, such as planning and carrying out complex actions.

What are some potential consequences that might arise as we move beyond the technological revolution?
