Society is rapidly approaching a fifth stage of development that  includes emerging disruptive technologies, such as artificial  intelligence, multi-sensory transfer, augmented and virtual realities,  advanced robotics, and synthetic forms of life.   

In this episode we are joined by Dr. Nicholas Zingale of the School of  Urban Affairs and Dr. Sasa Drezgic from the Faculty of Economics and  Business at the University of Rijeka, Croatia to discuss implications  for how the role of technology will continue to shape our everyday  experiences as well as aspirational hopes for a better and more  prosperous, fair, and equitable future.
