The Fourth Industrial Revolution and the Edge

As 5G sometimes implies many different things--a mobile platform; edge computing; internet of things apps; apps powered by artificial intelligence; new forms of local area and access networks--so all those changes sometimes are building blocks for the "Fourth Industrial Revolution." 



It is a big idea; so big it encompasses every major technological change you can think of. For that reason it also is nearly impossible to model in detail. But communications and computing will be involved in major ways. 5G is among the communications developments that matter; edge computing and AI are among the computing changes that matter.
