25 technological trends leading the 4th Industrial Revolution
What the 4th Industrial Revolution is made of
We live in a time characterized by a greater speed of events and a great technological transformation, and this narrows our space regarding adaptation.
What we know and have been talking about for some years, concerns incredible technologies that are told to us individually without communicating the connections that exist between them, tell us about Intelligence Artificial, Blockchain, Smart Robots, Self-Driving Cars, 3D printing, Advanced Genomics, the Internet of Things and other technological trends.
But if a new revolution involves everyone between employees and not because no one puts us in a position to understand its fundamental concepts To make their real impact less damaging to everyone’s life?
It is now evident and necessary, to disseminate and make everyone understand, while the 4th Industrial Revolution is, in fact, the fusion and interweaving of all these new and incredible technologies that we have told recently and similar to how it happened in the past with steam, electricity and computers that became the driving forces of the first three industrial revolutions, this fourth will have the characteristic of being guided by 25 fundamental technological trends, on which I will focus, working so that I can spread the knowledge in a practical, concise and affordable way for everyone.
As with previous industrial revolutions, this fourth will change businesses, reshape business models, and transform entire sectors. These 25 technologies will change the way we manage our business, what jobs we do, and many other aspects of how we should interact with the society in which we live.
It will be very challenging for most entrepreneurs to keep up with the speed with which these new technologies will emerge and engage within the production activities and management of all sectors. For companies and governments around the world, it will be necessary to understand and prepare for the direct impact of these technologies.
In fact, there will be 25 key technological trends that every entrepreneur must be aware of their existence. For example, it will be essential to understand that at the basis of the management of an autonomous car there are fundamental technologies, such as Big Data, 5G, Artificial Intelligence, Chatbots and Computer vision that overlap each other.
Deepening is needed to understand which are the key technologies and applications that are having the greatest impact on businesses today and in the medium-term future. It must be understood and accepted that the fourth industrial revolution offers everyone enormous opportunities, which will, in fact, make our world a better place over time.
The use of these technologies will be necessary to address some of the world’s biggest challenges, ranging from climate change to inequality, and from hunger to healthcare. We must not waste this opportunity, even if we know that with these new technologies available, there will be enormous possibilities that they will be exploited to generate evil, and for this reason, it will be necessary to establish security measures to ensure that this never happens.
What is certain is that these technologies will de facto change businesses, reshape business models and transform entire industries. With many of these technologies, the rate of innovation and development is simply astounding. Every week, there are new discoveries and applications that were not believed possible until a few years ago. It will be my job to keep an eye on all of this and share it with you through my articles.
