or you would be left behind. Lots of money is being poured into the world of
technology, and it’s not set to stop. Studies shows that technology is making
the world richer but might only be putting more money in the hands of the world’s
richest 1%. By 2020 the 1% richest would share 54% of the world's wealth, which
is at present 44% as estimated in 2014.Here is how Technology is set to keep
changing you!
Commerce and Business: With dwindling oil prices, ventures
into the I T sector is on the rise, start -ups such as hotels.ng, mycustomer.com, kafia.com.ng,
and the likes of airbnb are on the rise. And the
percentage of e-commerce activities is set to sky -rocket. Businesses are set
to move online and stay there in Nigeria, Delivery services are on the rise,
and profit margins are being slashed down.
It is estimated that over 445 billion dollars is spent
on modern day cyber-crimes and economic espionage. It is predicted that a lot
more would be spent on cyber security in time to come.
Jobs: Jobs are been replaced by technology and this is
set to sky-rocket, where a recent study says that low-skilled jobs might be
completely blown away. Many Jobs would be replaced by machines, and much higher skill and professionalism would be required.
Education: Over 80,000 apps are available for download on
apple store, children who spent more time on the internet are observed to
perform less better in class than students who don'ts. The use
of software for some brain exercising activities ,could make them dull
on the long run. Nevertheless, used rightly it can also reflect
positively.
Medicine:Technology have also advanced medicine. HIV has
been transformed from a death sentence to a manageable disease in just thirty
years. According to a recent data, venture capital firms invested 11
billion dollars into health care companies in 2014. These funds are being
used to develop supercomputers that crunch mountains of data to offer better
diagnosis and treatment, and to better understand our genetic building blocks and
how to use them to fight off disease. To put our progress in perspective, a
full human genome sequence cost $100 million in 2002. Today, it can be done for
$1,000; by 2020 it may cost next to nothing.
