The 25-Year Bet About Technology

For this assignment, we discussed the 25-Year bet placed by Kevin Kelly and Kirkpatrick Sale in 1995. Who is Kevin Kelly? Kevin Kelly is a Senior Maverick and cofounder of WIRED. 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. He is a competitive man who is confident in his own beliefs and would even go as far as to make a scientific bet against Sale’s who is someone with contradictory beliefs to his own.

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.
