Technology’s capabilities are always changing. Every day, advancements are made that will ultimately have profound effects on society, yet most of these developments go unnoticed by mainstream news outlets. As a result, the general public has largely been kept in the dark about the latest, greatest, and most exciting technological trends -- many of which are poised to reshape the world completely. This series aims to lift the veil off of these developments and shed light on how each could affect society in the years ahead. This book -- the first in the series -- begins the tour with a look at many areas of the entertainment industry, including television, movies, music, printed media, and video games. Tom Stuczynski is a tech industry insider working as a software engineer at one of the largest software development companies in the world. With over ten years’ experience studying technological trends and having obtained degrees in multiple disciplines, Tom has become adept at understanding both the technical limitations and social considerations of cutting-edge technologies. Written for anyone interested in where we are, how we arrived here, and where we’re headed, The Impact of Innovation series opens readers’ eyes to the world of new possibilities created by technological innovation and its potential impact on society.
