 Internet of Things
The internet of things, or IoT, is
a system of interrelated
computing devices, mechanical
and digital machines, objects,
animals or people that are
provided with unique identifiers
(UIDs) and the ability to transfer
data over a network without
requiring human-to-hu*picture*
man or human-to-computer
interaction.

6
Robotics
Robotics deals with the
design, construction,
operation, and use of
robots, as well as computer
systems for their control,
sensory feedback, and
information processing.

7
Virtual Reality (VR) Virtual Reality (VR) is the
use of computer
technology to create a
simulated environment.

8
Artificial
Intelligence
the simulation of human intelligence
processes by machines, especially
computer systems. These processes
include learning (the acquisition of
information and rules for using the
information), reasoning (using rules to
reach approximate or definite
conclusions) and self-correction.

"The changes are so profound that, from
the perspective of human history, there
has never been a time of greater promise
or potential peril. My concern, however, is
that decision-makers are too often “together shape a future that works
caught in traditional, linear (and non- for all by putting people first,
disruptive) thinking or too absorbed by empowering them and constantly
immediate concerns to think reminding ourselves that all of these
strategically about the forces of new technologies are first and
disruption and innovation shaping our foremost tools made by people for
people.” - Professor Klaus Schwab
future." - Professor Klaus Schwab

POSITIVE EFFECTS OF THE
FOURTH INDUSTRIAL
REVOLUTION TO THE
ECONOMY
The effects of this revolution can be observed primarily
on the area of productivity and production.

● Product Enhancement
● Access to global digital platforms that improve the way we
research, develop, market, sell, and distribute
● Development of technology-based platforms which fuse the
demand and supply
● Collaborative innovation
● Opportunities to learn and teach new skills
● Build new jobs requiring unique skill combination

cater to the changing needs, diverse
talents, passions and interests of students.
The continuing challenge will be in
mixing and matching changing needs
and interests of the students who will be
facing a constantly changing work

HEALTH
HEALTH
a relative state in which one is able to function well physically,
mentally, socially, and spiritually in order to express the full range
of one's unique potentialities within the environment in which
one is living. In the words of René Dubos, “health is primarily a
measure of each person's ability to do and become what he
wants to become.”

Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies will create
new ways for citizens to connect to each other, to trade
with each other, and to access services that are
currently not available.

 As the Fourth Industrial
Revolution unfolds, what
innovations are in store?

33
TELEMEDICINE
seeks to improve a patient's health by permitting two-way, real
time interactive communication between the patient, and the
physician or practitioner at the distant site. This electronic
communication means the use of interactive
telecommunications equipment that includes, at a minimum,
audio and video equipment.

34
PRECISION MEDICINE
is an emerging
approach for disease
treatment and
prevention that takes
into account individual
variability in genes,
environment, and
lifestyle for each person.

35
THE FIRST TRANSPLANT OF A
3D-PRINTED LIVER
In recent years, the use of a 3D
printing technology for cell printing
has triggered tremendous interest
and there are some exciting
demonstrations of printing 3D
structures such as artery and
kidney. Scottish scientists have
figured out how to use 3D printer
to create the world's first artificial
liver tissue made from human cells.
