or do you an hedonistic free-for-all, more like Burning Man 24/7?

Do you want beautiful beaches, forests and lakes,
你們想要美麗的海灘、森林和湖泊，
or would you prefer to rearrange some of those atoms with the computers, enabling virtual experiences?
還是偏好用電腦重新排列組成新的原子，實現真正的虛擬現實？

taking as an article of blind faith that any new technology is guaranteed to be beneficial,

as we drift like a rudderless ship towards our own obsolescence.

Or we can be ambitious -- thinking hard about how to steer our technology and where we want to go with it to create the age of amazement.

We're all here to celebrate the age of amazement,
