Technology & Interface Challenges for the 21st Century
Hugo De Man
The enormous wealth creation of the 20th century was based on two technological revolutions: the first was based on fossil fuel energy and led to the invention of engines that took over manual labor and created mechanical mobility. The second was based on electricity as energy carrier, allowing the easy distribution of energy to factories in order to produce material goods. The key production factors were manual labor and capital. Will the 21st century be more of the same? And what technologies will dominate? How will these technologies interface with people and how will they help to solve the challenges of the 21st century? These are the questions we will try to tackle in this article.
