Brett Parker SAP - FOURTH INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION: WHAT IS THE WORLD 4.0?

Professions attend an unprecedented transformation. It is estimated that more than 100 million jobs will be created in the coming years, on behalf of the Fourth Industry Revolution, but what is it? and how does it benefit us?

But what is the fourth industrial revolution? When will it start And how should we prepare? These are just some of the questions surrounding this important transformation, which is only compared to the changes brought by the steam engine, the electric bulb and the computers.

“Society is in an increasingly accelerated process of digitalization. Every day there will be more digital devices, sensors, robots, interactive systems, data transmission capacity and, therefore, greater production and use of information in everyday life. The human being must assume this new panorama as a challenge to respond to the demands posed by the digital world ”

With technologies such as blockchain, says the expert, you can have a traceability of the production chains. For example, in an agricultural process, it is possible to identify the origin of the products, from the time they are grown until they reach the final consumer, thus creating greater reliability in the product consumed.

In the case of robotics, he says, systems of this technology can be used to increase agricultural production without generating more resources and mitigating the environmental impact. In this sense, he emphasizes, this new dynamic impacts all spheres of life: economic, cultural, social, labor, etc. That is why it is essential that society prepare to assimilate these and other technologies.

“What is coming is a challenge. A society that is digitally transformed has competitive advantages in the global economy. If we quickly reach high-tech models, we will surely benefit so that industry, health, education and government improve and evolve as a society ”
