IEEE-USA Talking
Tech: MEGATRENDS
When:
Wednesday, 18 October 2023 - 10 AM ET
Details / Registration:
https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/374982
External factors unrelated to technology
that include global pandemics and wars
have influenced the development and
applications of technology. As a result,
the world has transformed itself and it
continues to evolve and reinvent itself
through technology. Technology is a key
enabler of global transformation driven by
comprehensive developments, often called
"Megatrends." Megatrends coalesce around
multiple interacting or mutually dependent
developments, last for a long time, and
have broad impacts not just to technology,
but to business, society and the
environment. Simply put, they impact all
of humanity. In this talk we present
predictions of individual technology
developments as well as megatrends.
