Even the ability to publish
Of all the things you mention in your comment, this one I think is the most compelling. Information is everything. The ability to publish, to communicate instantly can change the world. Which is why there is such a push to stifle that. Look around the world. Millions of people do not have access to information. And yet...somehow, like water, it manages to flow.
Information and education. These are the most dangerous developments (in the eyes of government) and the most precious gifts to the rest of us. Change minds and you change lives, change governments, change economies.
You're right. One fact that really amazes me is that a handheld phone today is millions of times more powerful than the computers that took the Apollo astronauts to the moon. We have amazing power that is relatively cheap and accessible. This is changing many parts of the world as people access and share information. Hive is a great example of what can be done! Coupled with a solid education, this technology can be transformative for communities in need.
