The 25-Year Bet About Technology

He is a writer obsessed with the advancements of technology and how it will continue to positively impact our world in the coming years. He determined technology was an important aspect to our society after his travels to Asia and India.

The palette I chose includes a dark olive green, a light olive green, a light beige, a pale orange, and the last color is a little random but flows well, a purply pink.
