As of January 2023, there are 5 billion users of the internet.
People who use technology and want to know about it―in simple language,
without jargon. Many of those nurture dreams and aspirations to be
quicker, smarter and ‘be the change.’ We bring to them relatable
stories of everyday users, understood by consumers and gadget freaks
alike.
We start with the Internet of Things (IoT) and show how
consumers are using smart devices that teach them to manage their
homes, travel and lifestyle through their smartphones. We see how cloud
computing and artificial intelligence (AI) are enabling them to give
feedback to IoT devices, and extracting multiple services from
household products like the humble LED light, or the refrigerator, or
sophisticated jet engines, or combined harvesters. As devices turn
smart and AI and robots enter our workspace they run the risk of being
hacked. So techies developed the Blockchain, with encrypted text that
would secure digital assets. But with it arrived cryptocurrencies that
threaten to bring unprecedented speculation, money laundering and cyber
crimes.
We also explore new opportunities in telehealth,
distant education and metaworld, and the strides made in digital
transformation that has, in less than five years, empowered over 2
billion people across the world, giving them access to cost effective
banking, education, travel, energy, food and health services. But the
same technologies are used to fight wars and disrupt supply chains that
cause acute distress and worldwide recessions. The book is relevant
because the changes happening now are not incremental but tectonic.
This opens the door to a future that is more fascinating and
threatening than fiction. Read on to find out more.
