digital revolution

Digital revolution or 4th industrial revolution?

It might seem old-fashioned, but more mature individuals will certainly understand the title's analogy, and younger people can use it as a trigger to explore a bit more about the stories that are part of human transformations.

Over the centuries, the industrial revolution has made great strides in the way humanity plants, harvests, distributes, and sells its goods and products. Over time and with technology, the transition in manufacturing processes has reinvented itself, giving rise to new products and professions. We are talking about periods dating back to 1760.

Given this general overview, we arrive at the present day, where technological devices are changing the way documents are archived. And this is just one example. Everything has been digitized. To “illustrate,” picture a workspace desk from the 1980s with a calendar, desktop, calculator, planner, etc., and a desk in 2019…

We start from the assumption that this revolution has already taken place. We are in the post-digital era. It is rare to find businesses that have no connection to the digital world.

For some, it is not the fourth industrial revolution; it is the last. The world will never be the same after this. Having this more individualized perspective is an important step for companies aiming to remain competitive in the market. After all, top professionals want to manage their own time and will choose companies that empower them to do so.

Perhaps it can be considered a privilege to experience this process, which is unique in history: the technology revolution, where we are constantly learning new ways to handle situations, challenges, and people.

Flexible Working Hours – Digital Nomadism

There are individuals who are highly productive in the early hours of the morning. But which companies allow this level of flexibility? Adhering to the same standard for everyone is becoming increasingly unfeasible.

Going beyond the trends of remote work and coworking, the concept of digital nomadism represents the anywhere-anytime model. Highly prevalent in the United States, it tends to become increasingly common with the next generation entering the workforce.

In the US, there are 4.8 million digital nomads, and 17 million already intend to work in this format.
