FINAL WORD

Technological megatrends : How do they impact our society ?

David Hernandez , Sales Director for Colombia and Ecuador at Dell Technologies , tells us how technology will drive the future of work and human progress .

The megatrends are visions that we are building on from what is happening today and that will allow us to know and visualize what is coming for the next few decades . By 2030 , emerging technologies will reshape our lives and different sectors as we move forward .

In the economy , technology will drive human progress and association with machines is a reality . This represents new opportunities for organizations and opens the possibility of ending old setbacks and starting new ways of doing business . Today , 82 % of business leaders believe that , in the next five years , there will be integrated teams of humans and machines working in their organizations .
One of the megatrends that stands out the most is telecommuting , work will no longer be a place , but a task that can be done from any place and time . However , the future of this activity comes hand in hand with the balance of the individual , we must know how much we can demand of ourselves and when we must stop . The number of employees who work remotely has risen steadily over the past decade , and recent studies suggest that roughly 70 % of the entire global workforce will be telecommuting at least one day a week .
