Why is the Fourth Industrial Revolution happening?

In the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the main factors of the amazing changes we are witnessing include the decreasing cost of computing and connected devices, the ease of implementation of AI algorithms, and the radical drop in the price of genetic sequencing.

Connected and intelligent "things" are helping us develop autonomous cars, virtual assistants and improve the diagnosis of health images (thus transforming the physical, digital and biological world).
