We’re moving form an industrial to a digital age. Acceleration, mobility, connectivity, real time information for free are the new normal. Everything seems to happen now. We live in a world of presentism: Search and social are now the main sources of information, breaking news and live tickers surround us. Boundaries between the public and the private are collapsing.

People everywhere have higher expectations. Where does this lead? Each new medium creates new communication styles and designs information differently. What is the future importance of images, symbols, voice vs. written language? The software invention turns out to be as important as the invention of money or the written language. What new needs are emerging?

How will the human-machine relationship evolve with ever better AI? Is AI am the new I am? When everybody becomes a creator and a maker, and generated data volume increases exponentially, what is important and what is unimportant? Who is in control? Who is going to make decisions?

Will we think of the past and the future the same way like today? Hardly. Our world is already a living museum – ever more data and things are either put on shelves or in the cloud. Will an idealized past become more important? Probably. Will the future create positive connotations? We hope so.
