Healthcare, Wearables, and the Fourth Industrial Revolution

A new age has arrived, bringing us novel, exciting, and sometimes scary things to explore, work around, and live with. Late in the 18th century, the world began to industrialize. It all started with the dawn of steam power and the power loom. These innovations drove growth in the coal, iron, textile, and railroad industries, completely changing the way goods were manufactured. The second industrial revolution, starting late in the 19th century, brought the expansion of petroleum, steel, and electricity, again toppling business models and society at large.
