America provides us with huge opportunities. It promises immigrants the possibility of starting life anew in a (whether true or not) an endlessly opportunity-filled country. Children of immigrants can break out of their poverty and classlessness and become paragons of this new society, landing positions in academic and business. Opportunities are endless, but, t the same time, these opportunities can only be achieved at massive loss.

Predictive technologies focus on using more computing power and technology to develop systems that predict routes, behavior, inventory, patterns, etc. Computer technology has improved over time. When we consider that the average SmartPhone has more computing power than all of NASA's first Apollo missions, we get the idea of access. If we look at Moore's law, every 18 months, the industry changes drastically (unexpected and planned changes). This allows for the development of predictive technologies to roll out in all sorts of products: coffee makers, the home (lighting, music, heating predicted when you are almost home), transportation, etc.
