We spend so much time focused on everything that seems wrong with the world that it can be easy to miss what is happening right in front of us. From Starship and artificial intelligence to robotics, medicine and space exploration, humanity may be entering one of the most extraordinary technological periods in history.

As opposition to data centers grows across the country, the technology industry is already exploring alternatives ranging from floating facilities to orbital data centers. The question isn't whether computing demand will continue growing. The question is where the infrastructure of the future will be built.
