Since our prehistoric ancestors used stone tools to start fires and hunt for prey, technology has made us more efficient and effective at what we do. It has brought us convenience, improved communication, and — relatively speaking — long and comfortable lives. However, any good thing taken to the extreme becomes bad.

Sometimes in entrepreneurship, in innovation, and in life, you have to do whatever it takes.
