Beyond just hardware acquisition, the next decade will be defined by an all-digital lifestyle and the \"Internet of Everything\"--where everything, from the dishwasher to the wristwatch, is not only online, but acquiring, analyzing, and utilizing the data that surrounds us. But what does this mean in practice? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIt means that some of mankind's most pressing problems, such as hunger, disease, and security, will finally have a solution. It means that the rise of driverless cars could save thousands of American lives each year, and perhaps hundreds of thousands more around the planet. It means a departure from millennia-old practices, such as the need for urban centers. It means that massive inefficiencies, such as the supply chains in Africa allowing food to rot before it can be fed to the hungry, can be overcome. It means that individuals will have more freedom in action, work, health, and pursuits than ever before.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Regnery Capital\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/12\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781621573739\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 350\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.08h x 6.98w x 1.20d","brand":"Shawn Dubravac","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43112106721461,"sku":"9781621573739","price":25.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_98be8dc8-9044-452e-8cbc-974acf0991fd.jpg?v=1693928845","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/digital-destiny-how-the-new-age-of-data-will-transform-the-way-we-work-live-and-communicate-9781621573739","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
