Today’s latest developments will be everyday things of tomorrow’s life. Whether self-driving cars, mobile supercomputing, artificially-intelligent robots, genetic editing, and neuro-technological brain enhancements, we are currently experiencing the evidence of a dramatic change and it’s happening at exponential speed. In thousands of years, mankind has freed itself from animal power, developed mass production and brought digital capabilities to billions of people around the globe. The present time is often referred to as “The Fourth Industrial Revolution”, which is fundamentally different to previous industrial revolutions.
