Back from Geneva

I have been a week in Geneva. I was living there for a few years (1984-1988).

The two guys with my wife in the pictures are my two best friends Carmelo and Federico in their country houses. They both work at CERN.

My daughter was born in Geneva. Another important thing born in Geneva more or less at the same time was the Web. Now at CERN they have big screens proudly advertising CERN as the birthplace of the Web. But few people (even at CERN) took it seriously at that time. The Web was to have a radical impact on our personal and professional lives in only a few years, but many people, even including some of those who were developing the technology, did not realize its potential out of the lab environment.

Same today with the so-called transhumanist technologies of human enhancement, that will have a much more radical impact on everything else. The signs are out there for everyone to see, but only a few people realize that big changes are coming soon.
