5G, The Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, Algorithms; if we believe the media, politics and corporates, there are only advantages to these key aspects of the tech revolution.
The fundamental 'dark sides' and ethical issues are explicitly ignored and/or silenced. What impact does this new digital infrastructure have on our daily lives? What effects does this have on our privacy, health, safety and democratic influence?
Unfortunately we don’t have much time to think about these questions. More and more devices are already 'smart'. They are equipped with sensors, some sort of an operating system and possibilities for sending and receiving data. And since the wireless 5G data network must be operational by 2020, this means wireless and real-time data transfer with virtually optical fibre speed. This gives a huge push to a new reality where cash will eventually disappear and personalized adds on every street corner. In short: radical changes that are currently happening (mostly unnoticeably) at lightning speed.
