Future Business

Technology is advancing faster than ever - but for better or for worse? On the one hand, astonishing technological developments from personalized genomics to self-driving cars to drones to artificial intelligence could make our lives healthier, safer, and easier. On the other hand, these very same technologies could raise the specter of a frightening and alienating future - eugenics, a jobless economy, complete loss of privacy, and an ever-worsening spiral of economic inequality.

The future is not what it used to be. In this volatile era, with the world changing rapidly, people are more curious than ever to know what lies ahead. Will relentless consumerism end up destroying our planet? Or can science and technology allow us to innovate our way out of trouble? Perhaps a greater social consciousness and community-based living will take over or, conversely, the competition for limited resources may result in everyone fighting for themselves.

Wenn Europas Autobauer überleben wollen, müssen sie sich radikal umstrukturieren - sowohl mental als auch real. Ex-Audi-Vorstand Peter Mertens ist überzeugt: Zukunftsfähig sind nur die Unternehmen, die mehr Nachhaltigkeit wagen, die sich stark machen für mehr europäische Souveränität in der globalen Automotive Industrie und sich öffnen für Kooperationen innerhalb und außerhalb der Branche. Dabei ist ein Zusammenschluss von Wirtschaft, Politik und Wissenschaft ebenso nötig wie ein neues Verständnis dessen, was ein Auto überhaupt ist.

The digital revolution poses a mortal threat to the major creative industries - music, publishing, television, and the movies. The ease with which digital files can be copied and distributed has unleashed a wave of piracy with disastrous effects on revenue.

In Digital Renaissance, Joel Waldfogel argues that digital technology is enabling a new golden age of popular culture, a veritable digital renaissance.

But hype has a dark side, too. It can mislead. It can distract. It can blinker us from seeing what is actually going on.

Die Arbeit drängte weiter ins restliche Leben, zur Erwerbsarbeit kam noch mehr Carearbeit. Die Schere zwischen systemrelevanten Berufen und Bürojobs ging weiter auf.
