Climate Change
Rawpixel.com/Shutterstock.com
Temperatures are rising, snow and rainfall patterns are shifting, and more extreme climate events - like heavy rainstorms and
record high temperatures - are happening. Many of these observed changes are linked to the rising levels of carbon dioxide
and other greenhouse gases in our atmosphere, and proceed at a rate that is unprecedented in the past 1,300 years.

Demographic Shift

The world is about to see a mind-blowing demographic situation: the proportion of elderly adults around the world is rising,
while the proportion of younger children is falling. Nevertheless, explosive population growth in some areas against declines in
others turns into relevant changes, from shifts in economic power to resource scarcity to the changes in societal norms.
 In 2016 the older population (aged
65 and over) represents about 7%
of the total population in many
parts of the world
 A notable exception is Africa,
where UNICEF predicts nearly 2
billion babies to be born over
the next 35 years

older people globally, equivalent to

It’s an age of human empowerment. It’s designing technology and services about us that conforms itself to people.
We aren’t just incorporating technology into our lives: as it becomes exponentially more sophisticated,
we are embedding humanity into the technology itself.
Unique users of digital virtual assistants are
set to rise from 390 million in 2015
to 1.8 billion worldwide by 2021
“A third wave of
technological innovation is
starting, featuring machines

Healthy living is becoming a status symbol, as more consumers opt to flaunt their passion for wellness through paying for
boutique fitness sessions, “athleisure” clothing, food with health-giving properties and upscale health and wellness holidays.
New sites about meditation,
state of mind, and sports
are proliferating
Wearable devices track
mental wellbeing as well as
physical fitness, and collect
many health-related data
Medicine is changing from
reactive - measuring people

The Hyper-Personalization trend refers to the flourishing of online products and services that can be fully personalized by the
user in terms of features, options, colors and design while the final setup or production takes place elsewhere.
Customized shopping doesn't
always mean the special
edition of the product, it also
about the experience and
the behaviour
Millennials are more
likely than Baby Boomers
to look for advice on in-
store purchases
“Proximity-aware” tech in
the form of beacon signals from
nearby shops to consumer
phones is also being boosted as
the messages become more
personalized through greater
knowledge about shopper

Emerging mentality of Millennials (and others) is resulting from the convergence of online, mobile and brick & mortar channels.
“I Want What I Want When I Want It” is the term used and stems from expectation that has resulted from the ubiquitous
availability of product. For retailers, this means thinking about making products and data available seamlessly across channels.
With constant mobile
connectivity, consumers can
connect with friends and
others at almost any moment
Smartphones are highly
influencing the omnichannel
experience. 53% of the
shoppers confirm to Mintel
that convenience and
instancy are the two major
factors they consider before
making a purchase
Social media continues to
heavily influence product
decisions, and, serving as a
shopping platform, it grows as a
part of the omnichannel mix
The “See Now, Buy Now”
fashion trend is the application of
fast shopping in the
beauty/fashion Industry
39% of millennials say they
interact more with their
smartphone than they do

It’s the death of demographic segmentation, no more age, gender, income, family status and more to predict consumer
behavior. People of all ages are shaking off demographic ‘conventions’ and constructing lifestyles
and identities more freely than ever before.
New attitudes, new
expectations and new
freedom are coming up
Global human rights and
globalitation consumerism are the
key points of no demograph,
especially for new Generation
Relevant themes are:
immigrants with tremendous
spending power, new model
family status, liquidity of
smooth nuances in gender,
new consumers immersed in
politics that look to brands to
stand up for certain values
The Internet has exposed
many consumers to
progressive (even new) ideas

Technology and Innovation that aims at providing specifications for next
generation ships. The ships will carry freight and be controlled from a
central control center by a small team that will use interactive smart

monitor what is happening both on board and around the ships.
The ships can operate in remote control mode and autonomous one.

Most NLP techniques are based on Machine Learning, where AI draws conclusions

enabling a shift paradigm from “interactive responses” to “dialogue” and it is helping
in enhancing overall communication with the users across any industries.

Recent advances in bioprinting have given tissue engineers the ability to
assemble biomaterials, cells, and signaling molecules (the so-called
“bioink”) into anatomically relevant functional tissues or organ parts. The
self-assembly characteristics of tissue strands grant them the capability to
form larger tissues upon cellular fusion. The widespread adoption of 4D
printed tissues for drug testing, clinical trials, and toxicity testing will have
the greatest impact across the pharmaceutical industry and it will enable
the elimination of costly animal testing and use of synthetic tissues.

capability of embedded transformation from one shape to another, directly
off the printer. It allows the researchers to program different material
properties into each of the various particles of the designed geometry, and
harnesses the different water-absorbing properties of the materials to
activate the self-assembly process. With water as its activation energy,
this technique promises new possibilities for embedding programmability

A Brain Computer Interface is a system that allows a person to control a computer or
other electronic devices (such as a wheelchair or prosthetic arm) using only his/her
brainwaves, with no gestures required.
Current brain-interface devices require deliberate conscious thought but some future
applications, such as prosthetic control, aim at working effortlessly. One of the
biggest challenges in developing BCI is the realization of electrode devices and/or
surgical methods that are minimally invasive.

images of the objects existing in the other workspace. When a
real object in a workspace is in contact with a clone image, the

Quantum Computing
In a quantum computer, the bit is replaced by a qubit (a quantum bit), which through
the laws of quantum mechanics, can be a 1, a 0, anything in between,
or more than one state simultaneously.
This multi-state phenomenon is called a “superposition”, and it is what makes
quantum computers so desirable. Using the standard 1s and 0s of a traditional
computer makes it hard to solve complex optimization problems, while quantum
computers are able to perform faster than any machine to date.
