Watch and learn about the development of the 4th Industrial Revolution:
With the rise of AI and robots, we are on the verge of what some economists call the 4th Industrial Revolution. Giving an alternative lifestyle to people who want a “simple–easy–fun”– lifestyle will give purpose to their lives, prevent the next wave of unemployment which is forecasted to be worse than that the 3rd Industrial Revolution (Mass unemployment, increase of welfare recipients, worker suicide, etc…) and allow for people to live their lives on their own terms, not decreed by corporations.
From 1760 to 2021, the world has attempted to create a better way of living through progressive means. Society's evolution began with steam power, flourished into mass production, and transformed into the technological era it is today. By the peak of the fourth Industrial Revolution, cyber physical systems will be assimilated into civilization. Part of the reason as to how the world can integrate cyber physical systems is because of sensors. Sensors are a core component when connecting objects wirelessly. In this case, machines would be connecting with computer-based algorithms via sensors. Yet sensors are only one type of building block the fourth Industrial Revolution is utilizing for the future.
The history of society's evolution and its future projections clearly reflects humanity's exponential growth, but at what cost? Despite the positive repercussions, all the Industrial Revolutions possess disruptive potential. The movements' pervasiveness unites digital, physical, and biological systems, but can change people; not just what people are doing. The line between artificial and natural blurs as people adopt and rely on technology more. Thus, it is crucial for people to take a moment to pause and ask themselves, “What is happening to the world, and how is it impacting me?”. Though the answers to this question will inevitably vary, the commonality is the fact that the definition of work is changing. People need to unite on a common front, the will to work, to prevent a complete technological usurp. The shift in society's systems is not solely about capitalism or socialism either; it is about propagating equitable growth without compromising integral ethics and preserving natural resources.
Think: This is probably the largest challenge of all, changing the way one thinks about living and working. Due to habits and people's day–in–day–out lifestyles people like what they're used to and mostly are adverse to change. In the upcoming post 4th Industrial Revolution Age, people will need to learn to transform their lives from a 9 to 5 lifestyle to whatever comes next. Many “Futurists” are envisioning a freelance based economy and scaled back lifestyle. For this, new skills must be learned and new communities must be built. Skills from carpentry to coding, art to agriculture and many more can be learned from skilled Master Tradesmen through apprenticeships and skill learning seminars. The community of Simple-Easy-Fun Living will provide a place for this to all be accessible and possible.
