我们的潜力是一回事。我们如何利用它是另一回事。

创新不仅仅是技术的问题；它关乎改变思维方式，拥抱新的思考方法。

Your smarts will come in handy because you will travel in a land of marvels. We humans -- plodding as we are -- will astonish ourselves. We'll invent ways to generate clean energy and a lot of it. Atom by atom， we'll assemble tiny machines that will enter cell walls and make repairs. This month comes the extraordinary but also inevitable news that we've synthesized life. In the coming years， we'll not only synthesize it， but we'll engineer it to specifications. I believe you'll even see us understand the human brain. Jules Verne， Mark Twain， Galileo， Newton -- all the curious from the ages would have wanted to be alive most of all right now. As a civilization， we will have so many gifts， just as you as individuals have so many individual gifts as you sit before me.

最终，我们都只是在试图理解混乱。
