Consequently, the six Genres explain how technology might unfold with growing autonomy and connectivity into some ultimate form -'an autopoietic technological being' existing in communities of similar beings -and the consequent implications for the relationship between humans and artefacts. This can be viewed in terms of the convergence of existing technologies, for example, for perception (sensors), data storage (cloud), processing (high performance computing), calculation and sense-making (AI, Machine Learning), authentication (blockchain) and action (autonomous vehicles, robotics, drones). ./cache/cord-274219-nh2t1qsl.txt ./txt/cord-274219-nh2t1qsl.txt
