Digital Revolution

No one ever doubts the scale and impact of the industrial revolution, with the phenomenal growth in production and innovation. Our view of those times is always marred, however, by child labour, deaths in coal mines and the suffering of those working in mills.

We are in the middle of a digital revolution, perhaps more significant than its industrial predecessor. How history retells this period may also depend on how we handle the social consequences; that is the extent to which we make the digital era an inclusive one.  Whilst this is a social imperative, it is also an economic opportunity.
