There are parts of the future that are certain. While some technological advances, like the internet and the mobile app ecosphere, have changed the world in unpredictable ways, everyone knew the Information Age would define the 21st century. Now the world is entering another turbulent era that the World Economic Forum has referred to as the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Political and business leaders from around the world gathered to try to peer into the future of work based on hard economic facts. This collection of leaders started from the premise that "developments in genetics, artificial intelligence, robotics, nanotechnology, 3D printing and biotechnology, to name just a few, are all building on and amplifying one another. This will lay the foundation for a revolution more comprehensive and all-encompassing than anything we have ever seen."
