The Fourth Revolution is a concern for all.
The concept is simple: we are living through one of the few Revolutions of Humankind cognitive capabilities. The previous ones were:
- Speech, around 100,000 years ago, which led into the nomadic hunter-gatherer Age
- Writing, around 10,000 years ago, which led into the Agricultural Age
- Broadcasting, around 1500 AD (with the invention of mobile font printing), which led into the Industrial Age.
Today, progress of technology gives us capabilities which we never before had available: long distance communication that allows long distance collaboration.
This will be a new Revolution, the Fourth Revolution.
It has already ignited.
Are we ready for it? Can we understand better that world-shaking event?
Can we possibly behave in ways that will make us thrive through and beyond the Fourth Revolution?
