Living in the 21st

century, where people

are dependent on
technology.
 Inventions permanently
changed society. Enabled by
technology advances, the
fourth industrial revolution is a
change in a way we live, work
and related with each other.
WHY THE FOURTH ONE?
FIRST INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION, 18TH CENTURY
Agricultural societies became more
industrialized and urban. It started when
we found out a new form of
energy: steam. Steam power allowed the
rise of mechanized industries and
evolving stages of metallurgy.
SECOND INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION, 19TH CENTURY
The second industrial revolution was
about electricity, petroleum and
steel. In this era, the world witnessed
innovations in communication
(telegraph, telephone), transport
(aviation, affordable car) and
manufacturing.
THIRD INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION, 20TH CENTURY
The new type of energy of this era is
the nuclear energy. New
technological advancements initiated
the emergence of electronics,
computers and biotechnology. This
revolution gave rise to automation and
robots.
FOURTH INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION, 21ST CENTURY
The fourth industrial revolution or
industry 4.0 started at the dawn of
the third millennium not with the
emergence of a new type of
energy but the internet. We are
witnessing the age of
digitalization.
INDUSTRY 4.0
Industry 4.0 wants to connect all production
means to enable their interaction in real time
thanks to technology such as cloud, big data
analytics and the internet of things (iot). Other
megatrends can also be identified as drivers of
the fourth industrial revolution: 3D printing,
advanced robotics, new materials,
blockchain, platform business (such as uber,
facebook, amazon, netflix), synthetic biology
and artificial intelligence (AI).
THIS REVOLUTION IS FORCING US TO RETHINK

• How countries should develop

• How organizations create value,
• And even what it means to be
human.
Governments are reshaping their
countries into “smart nations”
through their digital agenda. New
systems of education, healthcare
or transportation (autonomous
vehicles) are a few examples.
We are witnessing profound shifts
across all industries. Organizations
must change their business models
to survive disruption and reshape
their production, consumption,
transportation or delivery systems.
 “Organizations must
change their business
models to survive
disruption.”
Technology enables us to do things in
easier, faster and more efficient ways.
Biotechnology and AI, by pushing the
current thresholds of lifespan and
capabilities in ways previously seen as
science fiction, are redefining what it
means to be human. The impact of AI will
be progressive and found everywhere in
human activity and professional tasks.
Do you think AI will
replace humans?
“Imagine a world where
every light could
connect you to the
internet!.”
Wi-fi is a technology
that has taken a
primary place in our
daily lives.
Before wi-fi, there was bluetooth,
a revolutionary technology (at
the time) but was limited to only a
few meters of connectivity and
with a relatively poor speed.
Today, a new technology
appears: the li-fi.
The li-fi or the ‘light fidelity’ uses LED
lighting for the transmission of content
(audio, video, photo, etc.) To a
computer, smartphone or tablet
device, which is a revolution if we
consider the speed with which light
transmits data unlike the
electromagnetic spectrum that wi-fi
uses.
How does it work?
It is a high speed, bi-directional,
networked and mobile
communication of data using light. Lifi
is comprised of multiple light bulbs that
form a wireless network, offering a
substantially similar user experience to
wi-fi except using the light spectrum.
