But you have an advantage–a competitive edge–you have an innate mastery of technology, an ability to build and foster connections that no generation before you ever possessed. It’s a very, very special skill …

People bemoan a generation who grew up living life in front of screens, always connected to something or someone.

Those people are wrong.

The fact that we are all connected now is a blessing, not a curse, and we can solve many problems in the world as a result

Not only is it an advantage you have; it’s a responsibility you carry.
