Compose a well-structured standard essay (a five-paragraph essay) which makes an important generalization about social change in contemporary society driven and sculpted by technology (hardware, software, processes), especially as triggered and manipulated by disruptive emerging technologies. The essay should offer three diverse sample-sets of specific forms of such change derived–initially–from the deep and broad video archive at TED.com, but moving beyond TED sources to multiple sites and resources defining
1) autonomous control technology,
2) additive manufacturing (3D printing/self-assembly) technology, and
3) artificial intelligence technology.
