The ancient story of the Tower of Babel speaks to us today because it is a story of technological innovation and revolution. When humanity discovered how to make bricks they were able to build enormous buildings for the first time. Our ancestors were quite impressed and pleased with their abilities and their arrogance became their undoing. This is a story repeated throughout history and plays out today as our own technological revolution accelerates the pace of change into uncharted territory. Only humility and awareness can avert disaster.
