In the digital age, information is power!
Technology is changing faster than most of us can comprehend.
The changes affect us at every level - and not just in our personal lives and at work, but also in our communities and the world. However, technology is changing the way society functions and is shaping our future on the planet.
Technology is also causing shifts in power. Hundreds of years ago, power lay in land. With the Industrial Revolution, power went to manufacturers. In the data age, power moves towards the organizations that hold the information.

- 7. AI will make analytics more human, not less.
- 8. Visualization, conversation, and presentation technologies will merge.
- 9. Data literacy will become a KPI.
