Every year  the amount of data we improves increase double every year. The more population the more data produced on the internet meaning that more time on the internet. Sooner or later we have smartphones, smart houses, smart factories, and smart cities. The artificial intelligence is increasing, now google can win 49 Atari games and can recognize handwritten languages like humans can. It is predicted that supercomputers will take over, which is dangerous to humanity. The way we organize our society and economics will change. Some researchers imagined controlling the society and economics from the basic ways. Now the people are wondering if this prediction will become a reality.
