Every Industrial revolution has been powered by a great switch and shift in technology. Right from the mechanization of textile industry in 18th century Britain, to assembly line mass production of the 20th century and the very recent digital manufacturing has been the result of a technology becoming omnipresent to make our lives richer and better.
In the last 4-5 years we have witnessed life transforming technologies, that will usher in the next digital revolution and change how we perceive and do business.
