Technology is an integral dimension of coevolution at this time and will remain so for the foreseeable future. It is an aspect of the lure of the future that we resist to our own detriment, as intimated by the physicist Michio Kaku (2011) in a highly informed analysis. Instead, we need to embrace it, mobilizing our individual and collective resources to provide the necessary wisdom and discernment, while committing ourselves to the ongoing development of our critical and discerning faculties — combined with new social and political skills — to evolve strategies and structures that will channel this breakthrough to the benefit of person and planet alike. This indeed is a formidable and daunting undertaking, and we don't have the right to opt out. Time alone will tell if we can rise to the challenge. When it comes to adult-based faith, this is certainly a new threshold requiring a quality of resilience and wisdom largely unknown in the modern world.
