In this article, Floridi drives home the importance to act in this moment, because what we do today will determine the future for the earth. For the first time in the history of the earth, and possibly, the universe, the future of the planet, and all the life it has created is in the hands of one species. Floridi says, “we are its stewards at a specially crucial era”. It is time we understand how critical this moment is. We can no longer act business as usual. Drastic changes need to be made if we wish to see through the evolution nature has in store for us.
