Doug Stovall | Jul 23, 2019 - The next technological revolution is on the way. We’ve been hearing about the 5G economy for a few years now, but people who don’t closely follow science and technology developments may underestimate its significance. While there were major benefits associated with the launch of 3G and 4G network technologies, 5G represents a far more consequential disruption.
As an article in MIT Technology Review put it a couple of years ago, 5G “is a technological paradigm shift, akin to the shift from typewriter to computer. And it isn’t just a network. 5G will become the underlying fabric of an entire ecosystem of fully connected intelligent sensors and devices, capable of overhauling economic and business policies, and further blurring geographical and cultural borders.”
