This futurist predicts how China will use technology to change the world
“When Wired magazine cofounder and editor Kevin Kelly looks at the trends that will shape our future, he sees verbs. The tangible will become intangible as physical products are replaced by services. This in turn diminishes the benefits of ownership, which is being pushed aside in favor of access. As Kelly argues, if you can get something anywhere, any time and leave it behind, why would you want to own it?

“The technology that enables cognification to happen is the greatest force that will be at work the next few decades,” Kelly explained. “Over the long term, say 50 to 100 years, it’s going to be the equivalent of the industrial revolution.
