A Rising Tide To Raise All Boats: How Tech Can Benefit Everyone on the Planet

Recently, I had the pleasure of participating in a debate at Web Summit on an increasingly important topic: “Future of Tech: Will Everyone Benefit?” It’s a question we should all contemplate and analyze.

Or will the advantages of tech innovation be limited to only the fortunate few?

While some cities have extensive water systems in place for people to drink, bathe and cook, others are working to improve or overhaul their methods to ensure that they’re providing residents with high-quality H20.
