The Fourth Revolution: the impact of Information Technology on our lives
23 March 2009
Who are we? What is our role in the universe?
In modern society IT is radically changing not only how we deal with the world and make sense of it, or interact with each other, but also how we look at ourselves and understand our own existence and responsibilities.
In this lecture, Professor Floridi outlined his belief that IT is bringing about a fourth revolution by means of a long process which reassesses humanity’s fundamental nature and role in the universe.
