Abstract

In Chap. 1, we submitted that the world is changing rapidly. We pointed out that there is no other time in history when virtually every aspect, whether it is human life, economies or politics, among other things, has been affected the rapid change brought by developments in information technology (Harari, 21 lessons for the 21st century. Jonathan Cape, London, 2018). We observed that technological advances have allowed humanity to discover powerful energy sources, discover faster modes of transportation for humans, goods and services, improved the speed in which we communicate, landed human beings on the moon, and there is even an attempt to send a mission to the sun.
