The Information Technology Dilemma

The Fourth Industrial Revolution -- a global transitioning to a new set of systems and the integration of digital and physical technologies -- is upon us. Processing is rising exponentially, knowledge is becoming accessible to more people and information gathering is at an all-time high. Over the years, we've seen information technology have an increased role in the furtherance of humanity's cause for innovation and digital evolution. With new technologies such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, energy storage and quantum computing, the future holds even greater potential for human development. The ubiquitous nature of information technology and its integration into virtually every facet of daily living has brought it within proximity of otherwise personal data.
