M achines have been making our lives easier since Archimedes was messing around with pulleys and levers some 2,000 years ago. And with the advances of telephony, computers and the Internet, the explosive acceleration of technological discovery over the last 100 years has been dizzying. With the advent of smartphones over the past 10 years, it’s been at warp speed.
