1: Nobody likes knockoffs. Crypto-anchors and blockchain will unite against counterfeiters.
2: Hackers gonna hack. Until they encounter lattice cryptography.
3: Our oceans are dirty. AI-powered robot microscopes may save them.
4: AI bias will explode. But only the unbiased AI will survive.
5: Today, quantum computing is a researcher’s playground. In five years, it will be mainstream.

In the face of the possibility of computer intelligence superseding that of human intelligence, the world needs not just thinkers, problem-solvers and field experts, but constructive leaders to move the human race forward while preserving the essence of our humanity.

The learning outcome for this individual assignment 1 requires you to explore all topics of Information Systems (IS). The theme of this assignment is Future Trends in Information Systems. Information systems have evolved at a rapid pace ever since their introduction in the 1950s. Today, devices that we can hold in one hand are more powerful than the computers used to land a man on the moon. The Internet has made the entire world accessible to us, allowing us to communicate and collaborate with each other like never before. Please read this chapter [4, 5] in order to examine current trends and look ahead to what is coming next for IS. The current trends are as below:
1. Global
2. Social
3. Personal
4. Mobile
5. Wearable
6. Collaborative
7. Printable
8. Findable
9. Autonomous

You are required to do an extensive research on the topic of “Future Trends in Information Systems”, and then do an individual presentation to the class.
