Recommendation

In March 2015, the Global Agenda Council on the Future of Software and Society surveyed more than 800 experts in information and communication technology about the “tipping points” or “moments when specific technological shifts [will] hit mainstream society.” The report summarizes when the respondents think these tipping points will become part of everyday life and details the positive and negative prospects that these trends pose. getAbstract recommends these accessible findings to anyone interested in how their lives will look by 2025.

Take-Aways

  • Software advancements are transforming daily life. By 2025, an array of “technological shifts” will have already taken place.
  • People’s growing digital presence will increase the free exchange of ideas, but also will pose increased threats to security.
  • While the “bioprinting” of organs poses certain ethical issues, it presents an opportunity to save countless lives.
