ABSTRACT

Technological innovations have changed the way we experience our private and business life. Physical innovations such as mobile communication technology allow us to connect directly with people around the world at any given time. The Internet facilitates the search and finding of information within seconds. Credit cards and online payment technologies facilitate the buying and payment of goods and services, independently of currency or country. High-speed trains reduce travelling times between metropolitan cities, increasing mobility and flexibility. Medical innovations have resulted in better treatment of diseases or even their prevention. Innovations in seeds and fertilizer technology allow us to grow more resistant, less water-consuming fruits and plants.
