Stepping into the foyer of Google X, the legendary moonshot factory, felt like crossing into a realm where the impossible is merely a challenge waiting to be taken on. I closed my eyes and imagined a world transformed: self-driving cars ferrying people who lack mobility, robots handling hazardous tasks, drones delivering necessities to remote corners of the globe, and a flood of capital fueling groundbreaking ideas.
But as I opened my eyes, I realized something even more profound: these weren’t just isolated ventures. They formed a vibrant, interconnected ecosystem, each contributing to a grand tapestry of progress.
