We are quickly sliding into a dystopian nightmare scenario fueled by our addiction to technology. The group that is plotting the way that the world will work in the future has big plans for us, but it isn’t a pretty picture.
As we seek to predict where things are going, some of the ideas come from existing industries that are changing in order to incorporate technology into their business models. The development of HARPA will alter the way we deal with healthcare, as the new internet is rolled out as a way to control and track everyone’s actions.
Will the social credit program that is rolling out in China be adopted by America, and are Smart Cities a realistic part of the future of the United States? We will see, but if the Davos crowd has their say in things we might be saying goodbye to privacy very soon.
