Summary:
The Internet and smartphone are just the latest within a 250-year-long cycle of disruption that has continuously changed just how we live, just how we work, and just how we interact. The arriving Augmented Age, however, promises an even of disruption, behavioral shifts, and adjustments that are unparalleled. While customers today are camping outside of an Apple store waiting to be among the 1st to score a fresh Apple View or iPhone, the next generation of wearables can anticipate if we’re most likely about Augmented: Life in The Wise Lane to have a coronary attack and recommend a plan of action. We watch information of Google’s self-driving vehicles, but don’t most likely realize this implies progressive cities must ban human being drives in the next decade because us humans are too dangerous.
Following on in the Industrial or Machine Age group, the Space Age group and the Digital Age group, the Augmented Age will be based on four key disruptive themes-Artificial Intelligence, Experience Design, Smart Infrastructure, and HealthTech. Historically the prior ‘age range’ bought significant disruption and adjustments, but on the net basis careers were created, prosperity was enhanced, and medical and security of culture improved. Exactly what will the Augmented Age bring? Will robots take our jobs, and AI’s subsume us as second-rate intelligences, or will this usher in a fresh age of plethora?
Augmented is a book on upcoming history, but more than that, it is a story about how exactly you will live life in a world that will change more in the next twenty years than they have in the last 250 years. Are you ready to adjust? Because if history proves anything, you do not have much of a choice.
