be able to edit genomes to allow animal organs to be accepted into human bodies–transforming, and perhaps saving,

countries have seen productivity stagnate and stall, as discussed in growing inequality and opportunity.
6. In the 2020s many questions around technology will be resolved. The scaffolding is in place. This will be the decade
in which AI, Geodata, the IoT, Bioscience, and Quantum Computing are given the opportunity to change our world.
Whether this change will be surface level or truly transformative remains to be seen.
