The Future of the human species is tied to how we understand our relationship with technology, and technology is one of the dominant cultural codes of our time. The codes embedded in our technology, like our words, narratives, and stories, have the power to worldbuild.

On this day in 1909, the Silver Dart took to the air at Baddeck, Nova Scotia.
Designed by the Aerial Experiment Association, under the guidance of Alexander Graham Bell, it was Canada's first controlled powered flight.
