And one of those examples recently was for people with Alzheimer's. There was a young student called Emma Yang. Her grandmother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's or dementia. It's a terrible disease. One in seven people will get it in their lifetime. And being an introvert and a mathematician, she framed this as a hypothesis, and she created an app called Timeless.

The purpose of the app Timeless is to help people with dementia stay reconnected to their memories, reconnected to their families through geotagging, facial recognition, gamification. Received over a million dollars of wealth of investment since inception. This is a great example of generations solved.

This is a great example of what can happen when the cost, you imagine the costs of doing this 10 years ago would have been prohibitive. We would cost millions of dollars to set up an app and test it, scale it, Now you can do all of this. You can go from idea to iteration to implementation within hours or days. And obviously that's accelerated even more with AI.

And so for me, this is not the age of disruption, by the way. This is the age of wonder, the age of possibility. And the only limit is our imagination.

It's so exciting, isn't it? Ray Kurzweil at Singularity University has written a book recently where he really deep dives into this as well. I was in Doha, big future of tech, future of AI summit, and just some of the facts and insights coming out are so exciting. This idea that we've now got chips that can be scaled to DNA, and they can hold billions of transistors. That's actually happening.

It's not science fiction. So science fiction has become science fact. And I think you're right. If we can hold on for at least another 10 years, it's going to be one hell of a ride.
