It means that all technological progress is the backbone of human civilization improving. As the prominent venture capitalist and first investor in Facebook, Peter Thiel says, our entire civilization has grown because of vast improvements in technology. The worlds most respected futurist Ray Kurzweil says, we didn't stay on the ground, we didn't stay on the planet and we won't stay within the limits of our biology. In less than 40 years we will become like the Gods with magical technologies that would blow your mind today, as my friend Jason Silva says, "Having created the Gods, we shall become like the GODS " This century will make the biggest shift in our humanity from a type zero to a type 1 civilization (explained later in the book) and we will solve many of the grand challenges of the age old, like curing aging, have mind uploading and unlimited clean and free energy.
