The future of digitization
The genus “Homo” originated about 2.5 million years ago. Homo sapiens have been around for around 300,000 years. So in evolutionary terms, it took us a good while to walk upright, invent computers and send each other hearts on social media.
The first mechanical computers (punch card machines) were created from around 1935, less than 100 years ago. Since then, digital development has significantly outpaced human evolution. The question that many people ask themselves in view of the rapid developments is:
