Big thanks to @catherinereach and @ABAesq for having me at #ABATECHSHOW2019!

Here is my big takeaway:

Technology will continue to play an increasingly large role in our work and lives. Resistance is futile. Cross-discipline (of varying degrees) is necessary. 1/5

At the lowest end, it’s the minimum standard for competent/ethical practice—which is true now and will be even more so tomorrow. @IvyBGrey 2/5

Moving higher up, it’s necessary, as consumers, to appreciate the risks of the products we use (especially as we connect every single object to the internet) @bobambrogi @antigonepeyton 3/5

And so that we can knowledgeably regulate, govern, and adjudicate the surrounding issues @Colarusso @rightbrainlaw 4/5

At the high end, cross-discipline allows for collaboration so that high-stakes technology isn’t built in a silo; so that when we’re able to build almost anything, we’re building the right things. @KJ_Hammond @BetsyZEO 5/5

Thankfully there are an increasing number of programs that offer this kind of cross-discipline education— @InstFutureLaw and @LawLaboratory are two that I’m proud to be a part of!
