The technology of today and tomorrow is the platform on which innovation, creativity, and entirely new industries will form. Technologies like 5G will usher in this new wave of development. 4IR is going to change the way people think, learn, and process information and the environments around them, and that is ultimately the sea change that will make our world look very different.
It would be disingenuous to discuss the coming changes to our world without acknowledging that there are two sides to this coin. The ethical implications around many of these technologies stem from the fact that some can be used in ways that are harmful or helpful.
