Technological progress

The author of the futurist states in page (23) that Technological progress will be one of the future trends that will shape our future. I think this prediction is already trending as we see the power of technology to enable humans to reach their goals faster and achieve their purposes more efficiently.
we can think of the power of the digital technology and look at how it has helped transform our lives in way that could never have imagined in the past. we live in a highly digitized world where our world is at the tip of our fingers and we can achieve virtually any task using the Internet and our computers as digital tools. we are yet to realize even more powerful tools and technologies resulting from the use of digital infrastructure as a daily routine in our lives. we should expect to work completely from home and interact with our society without even leaving our homes. thanks to our digital power.

Forces that may affect this future trend or forecast:
Force #1: Society: our society seems to be adopting the digital technology at an exponential rate. its completely embracing the digital world and making it an essential element of our daily life. this force will certainly help this technology to further strive and reach new heights.

Force #2: Economical: we live in a global economy; therefore we should expect the digital technology to see more adoption as business and organizations increasingly rely on the digital power to achieve their goals and meet customer expectations. The digital technology will certainly help achieve economic growth and contribute to making our economy more interconnected and more globalized.
