Hybrid Reality

According to the Hybrid Reality Institute's Parang Khanna, technology no longer just processes our instruction; it has its own agency, and we respond to it as much as it responds to us. What this means for societies and individuals, as well as communities and nations, is truly world changing.

In their book, Hybrid Reality: Thriving in the Emerging Human-Technology Civilization, technology futurists Ayesha and Parag Khanna declare that we are rapidly moving from a point of co-existence with technology to a phase of co-evolution with it.

The Hybrid Reality Institute is a research group that explores human-technology co-evolution and geotechnology, and their implications for society, business and politics.

In the Hybrid Age, technology is ubiquitous (with trillions of sensors coating our environment), intelligent (devices communicating with each other as well as with us), and social (encouraging us to develop emotional relationships with it).

Technology no longer just processes our instruction; it has its own agency, and we respond to it as much as it responds to us. What this means for societies and individuals, as well as communities and nations, is truly world changing. How will we respond and adapt?
