The Digitization of Just About Everything

At first, I didn’t understand where the author was going with this text. However, his example of the Waze app really clarified the ‘digitization’ dialogue of the text, that due to it, we have new ways of acquiring knowledge and also, higher rates of innovation. These are two things that will form the next generation of the digital age. However, I think the most interesting part of the text for me was that as humans, our science will get better and better as digitization improves. This possibility seems so exciting  for the future of research as it gives us more and more access to answering questions we never thought we would have the ability to answer. This made me wonder if/to what extent computers will ever reach the speed, depth and complexity of the human mind?
