In 2000, that dot-com bubble popped. Some companies failed and completely shut down and went out of business. Others like Chisko, Amazon and eBay survived, recovered and really thrived. Following the dot-com crash, there was a period of reinvention. Web 2.0 emerged and this really revamped the way that the internet was used. Web 2.0 doesn't really speak to a technical specification but it talks about the way which web pages are designed and used. A Web 2.0 website allows users to interact and collaborate with each other in a social media dialogue as creators of user generated content in a virtual community. This is in contrast to the first generation of web 1.0 era websites where people are limited to passive viewing of content.

Now, fast forward to 2012, 1 billion unique users appeared on Facebook. Today there are billions of people connected by mobile devices, they have unprecedented processing power, storage capacity, allowing unbelievable access to the knowledge that's available around the world. The possibilities are endless. There are disruptions in almost every industry in every country. Now these possibilities are multiplied by emerging technology breakthroughs in fields like robotics, Artificial Intelligence, the Internet of Things, autonomous vehicles, 3-D printing, nanotechnology and a lot more. Already, artificial intelligence is all around us, from self-driving cars and driving drones to virtual assistants and new types of software. Thanks to technology, we are able to discover new and see a merging of the digital and biological worlds. This Fourth Industrial Revolution will not only change what we do, it'll change who we are. Our senses of privacy, ownership, our consumption patterns, the time we devote to work and play, how we develop our careers, develop new skills, or meet new people and nurture relationships are all rapidly changing and evolving. The bottom line, however, is the same. Business leaders need to understand their changing environment, challenge the assumptions of their teams, and relentlessly and continuously innovate.
