Who Are You?

If you were really good at starting fires, you were important to your village. But when matches and then lighters came along…

If you were really good at remembering, you were important to your village. But when writing came along…

Technology taking over human skills and making them less important isn’t new.

AI might be able to do what you do, but it could never be who you are. 

Be you.
