About the session

The ongoing revolution in communication technologies means that not only are we increasingly able to receive and share large amounts of information wherever we may be, but new ways of working and personal lifestyles are emerging. This presents amazing new opportunities, but also some significant challenges to society, business and the way we lead our personal lives. This lecture examines some of the key trends emerging around the world and the implications of living in a digital world where the different information, communication and entertainment media are rapidly converging.
