A journey into the world of technology and its impact on the lives ahead of us. From cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, the metaverse, blockchain and extended reality, to established ones such as cloud computing and the Internet of Things, the book explores how they will interact and shape our daily experiences in the coming years.
As technology advances at a rapid pace, understanding its potential benefits and drawbacks becomes essential. The book delves into the latest developments and shows how they can improve industrial production, simplify our daily routines and enhance our leisure time, raising important questions about the future of technology and how it will affect our relationships with each other: will artificial intelligence change the way we interact with humans? What will be the new models for consuming content, travelling, shopping and gaming?
In the background, two cross-cutting themes, inclusiveness and sustainability, remain essential for navigating a rapidly changing world. The result is a map of the scenarios to come, helping readers prepare to take advantage of new technologies while staying mindful of their impact on society and the environment.
