After reading “The Fourth Industrial Revolution’ by Klaus Schwab, I truly relate to the part where it says the industries are having an obvious revolution in terms of digitalization and information technology. For instance, when robots were first created, they were considered as a great creation but throughout the years, they evolved from performing only limited tasks to perform daily chores or even nursing, which makes them more adaptive and flexible. Also, for example, like mobile phones, we had black-and-white-screened phones to 2G phones, which contain camera function and mp3 player, and later to touch screen phones like iPhone or Samsung. The change in technology does not only cut down the costs in every aspect but also cuts down the amount of energy used to perform a certain task. On the other hand, robots that are slowly becoming more human-like will cause the increase in unemployment as robots will soon take over human (robots are neither human nor living things, thus they do not need living expenses to keep them surviving, which will cut down a lot of costs for the employer).

I really agree with what Schwab had mentioned in the chapter that the presence of internet had a very strong impact and influence in every industry, especially media industry. All the social medias and web pages can only act as a platform to carry out its tasks with the presence of internet. Just take a look at the tv show The Feed, there may be viewers who have missed out one or two, but with the internet and the social websites performing together, it allows the viewers to watch them online, in a way which also allow them to earn more (a win-win situation). Also, just take a look at media factory blog, without internet, this blog could not act as a platform to allow the tutors and professors to have interaction with the students.
