THE FOURTH INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION

Based on discussions with many global leaders, the head of the World Economic Forum explains the challenges brought on by the rapid growth of mobile and infinitely connected digital intelligence. British voice pro Nicholas Guy Smith gives this excellent writing the international flavor it deserves. Serious but never pretentious, his performance provides great clarity and stature. Author Klaus Schwab is particularly moved by the rapidity of today's technological progress compared to the inventions of the past. Each new digital innovation, combined with breakthroughs in materials science and biology, is changing humanity and society so fast that it threatens our ability to control them. He concludes with hopeful and sophisticated suggestions for minimizing risks and improving the human condition, making this an inspiring and thoughtful audio to hear.
