A Quantum Leap - Computational Design
After encountering hunter age for several million years, the agricultural age for several thousand years, the Industrial Age for couple of centuries and the Information Age only for few decades, lately we're on the cusp of another subsequent era as a species, the Augmented age. In this new era, our innate human potential is ought to be augmented by computational designs that shall connects us to the world far beyond our natural senses.
