India is to overtake China in population growth. We are expected to grow faster than the world growth rate, according to National Commission on population.   The scarier part is not the growth of population with limited resource, it is also the growth in technology. With the growth in area of Artificial Intelligence, Kai-Fu Lee, founder of venture capital firm Sinovation Ventures and a top voice on tech in China claims that Artificial intelligence will replace half of all jobs in the next decade.

Its time for us to start thinking. Comfort or necessity ? Share in your thoughts
