A wide variety of technological change is ushering in a third industrial revolution which will change society in ways as equally momentous as England's textile mills and Ford's production line. 3D printers will change the scale of manufacturing, permit individual inventors to innovate with the efficacy of a multinational company and open new economies in far-flung communities.

In January 2011, the Forum created the Future of Manufacturing project to serve as a high-level cross-industry platform for executives and policy-makers to build strategic insights into the key challenges and future outlook for the global manufacturing ecosystem. The project developed a data-driven narrative to articulate how advanced manufacturing drives economic growth, to identify the macroeconomic trends that are shaping global value chains, and to explore the role of government in different countries, building on workshops in Brazil, China, and India.

Denmark, a small but technologically advanced country that in January will take over the rotating presidency of the European Union, has pioneered the use of participatory methods to assess the risks and societal impact of new technologies. But plans to disband the Danish Board of Technology (DBT), which has been a leader in studying public views and expectations of science and technology, suggest that Denmark's new government is not quite aware of the country's formidable tradition in democratizing science. If it proceeds with the plan — which, ironically, is intended to preserve funds for research — it risks destroying a critical piece of Europe's science-policy system.

Helbing and his colleagues want to solve social problems with the same technology used to solve more straightforward physical problems. With support from some of the most prominent institutions and scientists in the EU and beyond, FuturITC is working to create something similar to a “flight simulator” for social factors. If scientists are able to predict how probable events such as disasters and climate change will transform people’s behavior and the dependent institutions, societies can be better prepared to mitigate complications such as crime, corruption, and financial meltdowns.

Rather than moralizing away inequality by creating a more equitable social hierarchy, where more citizens are sufficiently compensated to keep quiet about the exploitation of natural and human resources around the globe, Zizek says we should take the renewal of global protests—from the Middle East to Occupy Wall Street to Spain and Greece—as a sign that capitalism, as a social phenomena, is spinning out of control. The new big earners are managers and CEOs of knowledge-based industries.

When one tiny circuit within an integrated chip cracks or fails, the whole chip – or even the whole device – is a loss. But what if it could fix itself, and fix itself so fast that the user never knew there was a problem?

In one of the buildings at NASA's Ames Research Center, within walking distance of the Googleplex, elite groups of very smart people are trying to prepare for a future so advanced we can't even predict what it'll look like. This Singularity University is a hub for forward-thinking experts to learn about robotics, artificial intelligence, and other key technologies of the next century. Via Frederic Emam-Zade Gerardino
