Emerging technologies have evolved over time, from PCs and web applications to cloud computing and current trends like blockchain and AI.

Five key technologies for the future include quantum computing, networking (5G and 6G), AI, data and security, and converging technologies.

The concept of a borderless world envisions merging the physical, digital, and virtual worlds, enabling inclusive experiences and overcoming physical limitations.

Ethical considerations and sustainability are important factors in technology development, and AI can play a significant role in addressing sustainability challenges.

Quantum computing has the potential to revolutionise problem-solving, drug discovery, and the development of general AI when combined with AI techniques.

Proactive approaches, such as digital rehearsals and dynamic resilience, can help address challenges and create a more sustainable future.
