Decades and centuries ago, the intrepid trailblazers mapped rivers, built monuments, and explored new terrain, using tools such as a compass, sextant, and telescope. Today, they map genes, build new devices, and explore new ideas, using, among other things, the tools of technology development. Properly utilized, these tools help avoid the dangers and reveal the best that the new landscape has to offer. Vast opportunities await those who have the vision to seize the tools along with the moment.
