Fear: The entirety of our computing infrastructure, including all of our finance and health systems, is an insecure, untrustworthy mess.

Hope: The energy and hope I see among college students.

About the survey: "Motherboard asked 105 interdisciplinary thinkers about their fears and hopes about the future. We defined “thinkers” and “smart people” as experts in fields we regularly cover. Participants include (but are not limited to) 19 space scientists, 19 biologists and environmental scientists, 11 computer scientists, eight medical scientists, five lawyers, four historians, a musicologist, a paleontologist, an astronaut, and a digital artist who replied with emojis."
