The 4th<\/sup> Industrial Revolution is at the gates of the societies\nof developed countries. The 5th<\/sup> generation mobile networks or 5g\nwill cause giant jumps of progress in wireless technology and will change people’s lives fundamentally. The\nbattle between the US and China through the trade war and the blockade of Huawei-the\nChinese telecom giant-from the American market is part of this\ntechnological-geopolitical war that has erupted for the control of the 5th<\/sup>\ngeneration cellular telephony networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although this new technological Cold War continues these geopolitical\nconflicts will have a huge impact on the governments and companies of the\ndeveloped world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 4th<\/sup> Industrial\nRevolution and how it will change people’s lives<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 4th<\/sup> Industrial Revolution will fundamentally change everything in people’s lives. Computers will cease to be of digital type and will now be of quantum type. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In agricultural production the farmers together with seeds will be placed and microchips in order to control the entire cultivation process by defining and when will be the appropriate time for each work in the process of agricultural production. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Factories, houses, household appliances, autonomous cars, ships, drones, and arsenals of each type can be remotely controlled by giving each time the necessary orders per case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, there will be no permanence at work, but the work will be\nauctioned on the internet and projects will be undertaken by all those who have\nthe necessary skills, skills and specifications for each project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The transactions will cease to have mediators of any kind for the execution of either the banking sector or any government agencies. All these technological leaps mean a loss of a huge number of jobs due to changes in the way we knew the nature of work to date. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

People and, in general, the citizen of the 4th<\/sup> Industrial Revolution will live simultaneously in three different but interrelated and dependent levels of reality. He will live in physical reality, in virtual reality and in digital reality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He will be able to work, live, communicate through whatever reality he chooses, living through these realities that he will have chosen to make, and he will be the one who chooses when and how he will come out from these realities in order to perform his daily biological living needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps we can reach levels where the citizen cannot distinguish virtual\nand digital reality from physical reality, because technology and real life\nwill be interrelated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He’s going to walk down the street and with the special glasses he’ll be\nlooking at all the information he needs to know in front of his eyes. Either\nthe data and information that he needs to know relate to people who walk around\nhim or they concern a monument, a company building, or he watches a game of\nbasketball on the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All this assumes that all this information and data are found on the\ninternet and in the new type of virtual social networks and that the user will\nbe connected to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All these digital entities-the new types of networks-are made up of both people and computer systems that use artificial intelligence. The result will be the different identities that a digital entity can have\nthat will annihilate any existing social barriers, sensations, ideas that have\nalways been mediated between people’s sociality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 4th<\/sup> Industrial Revolution is based on eight major new technologies. That is, blockchain, drones, internet, robotics, artificial Intelligence, virtual reality, maximized intelligence, 3d printing, altering and fundamentally changing the ways of human thought. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In short, the 4th<\/sup> Industrial Revolution is called the combination of cyber-physical systems, the Internet of Things and the Internet of Systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The moral dilemma that emerges is whether man and the citizen in general\nensure that all this multitude of information that concerns him as an\nindividual and personality, whether in digital or virtual and physical reality\nwill not be used unknowingly and against him to discriminate and exclusions of\nany type against him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If until today social networks are used to express their users all kinds of emotions (joy, anger, rage, sadness, etc.) anonymously and hidden behind a digital name and always to people who have never met them in own, then these three new interrelated manifestations of reality (digital, virtual, real) will launch to an exponential extent these expressed emotions creating polarization situations and extremes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Human expression of all kinds will have the seeds of an extreme behavior and violence when conditions allow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 4th<\/sup> Industrial Revolution will make the world borderless, since communication will be the basis of this world and not the morals, customs and language that characterizes the citizens of a country. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The communication technology of the 4th<\/sup> Industrial Revolution will “flatten” the embankment of language that until fifteen years ago was the main obstacle to a world without frontiers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This ability to communicate and change the nature of work globally will release the centrifugal forces of concentration of masses in centers, giving the possibility of decentralization to a significant percentage of populations, since it will not matter where someone lives and works. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is, if he works in Metropolis, town, village etc. Because he will be able to work from his own space, where he lives, without certain hours, using his time as he pleases. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The work will be asked to be attributed each time to different project stages, where each stage of the project will be auctioned into an increasingly global competitive environment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those who possess the capacities and the appropriate specifications, committing to deliver the work they will undertake in the shortest delivery time combined with the most advantageous price will undertake and the auctioned each time work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Essentially, the 4th<\/sup> Industrial Revolution will change the\ncontent and way of work, production, goodwill because the work will be\ntransformed from collective type that was until yesterday in individual-centric\ntype, with work-whether intellectual, digital or manual-to remain on the\nworker’s property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Direct consequences of this finding are the fact that trade union movements\nand as we have known so far will cease to exist. All kinds of employee\ncollectives will now have to do with the defense of individual rights in these\nnew digital, virtual and real worlds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another consequence is the drastic cutting of jobs in industries such as\nindustry, agriculture, banking, social services, public services and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quantum computers will perform calculations at terrifying speeds while considering\nmany expressions of probability to give the best possible result. These speeds\nin calculations will provide the necessary solutions that today’s computers\nfail to offer. This means even greater job losses at global level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The challenges of the changes brought about by the 4th<\/sup>\nIndustrial Revolution<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The challenges of the changes brought about by the 4th<\/sup>\nIndustrial Revolution are not just for citizens at an individual level and how\nthey will adapt to these new upcoming changes. The same and more serious\nchallenges are being faced by the Governments of the countries themselves and\nby companies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Certainly, for governments and more generally for the political systems the\ngreatest challenge will be how they manage to re-educate and adapt the millions\nof workers who will lose their jobs in all sectors of the economy (Failure in\nthis sector translates into enormous political costs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There will certainly be a need for a combination of solutions for the\nbetter retraining of all these people-workers which should take into account\nthe potential sciences, the needs of the market, the social and employment\nadjustment, the best possible psychology for reintegration, having primarily\ntaken into account all of the personal life and work experience of all those\npeople who will lose their jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An equally important challenge for governments and companies is how they\nwill manage to organize, control and run the new world created by the\ncommunication technology that will bring the 4th<\/sup> Industrial\nRevolution. A world without frontiers, a world where developments will be taken\naway from the will of government and corporate decision-making centers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The technological war for the control of the 4th<\/sup> Industrial\nRevolution<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At this point, the battle for the control of the 5th<\/sup> generation\nmobile telephony networks will be introduced, through which the control of all\nthese changes will be brought about by the 4th<\/sup> Industrial\nRevolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The battle for the control of the 5G, is the new Cold War between the US and China, who apart from the commercial war between them and the blockade of Huawei by the American telecom market, is the new global geopolitical issue and we are still at the beginning of this war.  It has preceded strict censorship from China to Google, Amazon, Facebook, while US security agencies used to spy on Huawei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next episodes of this “war” will depend on the position and\nactions that the potential “players”-block on this geopolitical\nchessboard will take. The “players”-blocks on this chessboard are the\nUS and their allies (Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan) and on the other\nhand are China and Russia. The EU has not yet taken a stand on this dispute,\nalthough the whole issue is its own telecoms market which in the best-case\nscenario, this EU market is worth more than \u20ac200billion.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If, for example, US President Donald Trump acts on his threat to complete\nthe veto against Huawei, It also imposes the remaining aforementioned duties,\ni.e. 25% and the remaining Chinese imports worth $300 billion, then China will likely\nto react, with a high probability of making its threat to imposing an embargo\non exports of rare earths which are extremely necessary in all these\ntechnologies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reader who wants to know what rare earths mean and how China can use\nits global positioning strategy to influence the global market and development\nshould read our analysis entitled “Global Recession, Trade War and Rare\nEarths\u201d posted on 13\/06\/2019, category: economics in liberalglobe.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In such a case of upgrading the tension:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.<\/strong> The EU and the West in general should look for alternatives to mining and processing rare earths but also to avoid the sanctions from Huawei’s access to the EU 5G market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.<\/strong> If the EU follows the US and excludes Huawei-a technological pioneer in the 5G networks-it will delay the growth of 5G in the EU at least two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.<\/strong> The US in response to China’s embargo on rare earth exports that will result in drastically increasing the prices of products with a total commercial value of $6-$7 trillion and causing a global recession, are likely to lead to decisions-extremes. To demand and enforce the total exclusion of Chinese products into western markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our proposal is that things should never reach this point. There should be\ncooperation on both sides-blocks, taking each side into account the security\nconcerns that will likely be expressed by proposing and solutions that are\nmutually acceptable to both sides accompanied by tangible guarantees which will\nreassure the ‘wants’ of each side. Through sincere cooperation on both sides\nthey must find a mutually acceptable solution that will give way to the\nimpasse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
