Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World-renowned economist Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum, explains that we have an opportunity to shape the fourth industrial revolution, which will fundamentally alter how we live and work. Schwab argues that this revolution is different in scale, scope and complexity from any that have come before. Characterized by a range of new technologies that are fusing the physical, digital and biological worlds, the developments are affecting all disciplines, economies, industries and governments, and even challenging ideas about what it means to be human. Artificial intelligence is already all around us, from supercomputers, drones and virtual assistants to 3D printing, DNA sequencing, smart thermostats, wearable sensors and microchips smaller than a grain of sand. But this is just the beginning: nanomaterials 200 times stronger than steel and a million times thinner than a strand of hair and the first transplant of a 3D printed liver are already in development. Imagine “smart factories” in which global systems of manufacturing are coordinated virtually, or implantable mobile phones made of biosynthetic materials. The fourth industrial revolution, says Schwab, is more significant, and its ramifications more profound, than in any prior period of human history. He outlines the key technologies driving this revolution and discusses the major impacts expected on government, business, civil society and individuals. Schwab also offers bold ideas on how to harness these changes and shape a better future—one in which technology empowers people rather than replaces them; progress serves society rather than disrupts it; and in which innovators respect moral and ethical boundaries rather than cross them. We all have the opportunity to contribute to developing new frameworks that advance progress.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La Revolución Industrial es el proceso más determinante de la historia reciente: una narración vibrante plagada de victorias para la humanidad, pero también de víctimas. Nadie duda que las guerras o los enfrentamientos cambian el curso de la historia, pero no es menos importante, para nuestra historia reciente, el impacto que tuvo la Revolución Industrial tanto en la economía como en la política o la estrategia militar de las naciones. Breve Historia de la Revolución Industrial nos presentará este complejo e imparable proceso humano en el que se combinan varias revoluciones como la revolución agrícola o la revolución demográfica y que contó con la colaboración de las teorías científicas en las que se sustentaban los nuevos inventos, las universidades que empezaron a producir trabajadores cada vez más cualificados y, sobre todo, de los gobiernos que, hasta las primeras revoluciones sociales, eliminaron todas las barreras con las que el progreso se iba encontrando, aunque estas barreras estuvieran hechas de seres humanos. Es fundamental, a la hora de abordar este heterogéneo y dilatado proceso, la intención didáctica que Luis E. Íñigo mantiene constantemente a lo largo de la obra, así podemos introducirnos sin problema en los distintos debates que existen sobre la revolución industrial. ¿Puede hablarse de una Revolución Industrial que se inicia en Inglaterra y a la que se van sumando, con más o menos éxito, los demás países o deberíamos hablar de un desarrollo económico a escala mundial? ¿Comienza la Revolución Industrial en el S. XVIII o debemos remontarnos al S.
