Not only in the opinion of WBGU, the German Advisory Council on Global Change, we are in the digital age in one of the greatest upheavals mankind has ever experienced. This digital age is characterised by key characteristics: On the one hand, an omnipresent networking of systems, organisations and individuals with an enormous increase in knowledge, which is changing in every scientific discipline. This growth in knowledge is accompanied by dramatic changes in innovation, which in turn change working and living conditions. We are increasingly finding autonomous systems that will significantly change the human-technology interaction, the technological system of our societies. For example in mobility, for example in production. We are increasingly finding self-learning systems that raise the cognitive abilities of technology systems to a new level. We will make increasing use of virtualisation methods, not only in videoconferencing, but also through enriched reality and virtual reality, finding new approaches to understanding, to working together, but also to cooperation independent of time and place. These are new qualities that take human society into another dimension.
