ABSTRACT
A key element of any revolution is its destructiveness and concomitant accumulations. This could be the destruction of the old political, religious, economic, and or social order or the destruction of dictatorships and other forms of governance deemed undesirable. The 4IR will be more impactful than the slave trade, colonialism, and imperialism. The benefits of the 4IR are scattered throughout many facets of life. These include medical benefits in the area of medical diagnostics, X-Ray, and radiology imaging. Revolutions are disruptive, and their disruption has both positive and negative consequences, unintended consequences, and multiplier effects. Deep learning and artificial intelligence have delivered hugely accurate information which otherwise would have taken decades to collect, consolidate, and analyse. Digital rights will increasingly become part of human rights. Generally characterised, the digitally privileged are located in the Global North and the various zones of being, while the digitally deprived are in the Global South and the zones of none being.
