The next ten years will be the most transformative period in human history in terms of technological evolution. We will be privileged to participate in this process as observers, protagonists, most of us trying to adapt and survive. The speed of change, which is overwhelming, will increase and we will need emotional intelligence and balance to deal with all of this.
What before seemed like poetic and science fiction daydreams, such as artificial intelligence, robotics, nanotechnology, energy storage, improvement of the human body, space technology, neuroergonomy, among others, are now reality and, from now on, will affect us more most.
Some examples present in the media and in many events are: vehicles without a driver; production of robotic food; 3D printing in civil construction and in numerous areas of human activity - we will soon have a 3D printer at home; the robotization of the workforce, with the disappearance of simple, dangerous and repetitive professional activities; the construction of a space elevator, which is scheduled to open in 2050, as disclosed on the Obayashi Corp website; telomere therapy to increase people's longevity in 24%, readily made into capsules by TA Sciences; bionic exoskeletons, which will help people with disabilities and reduced mobility; and organ bioprinting, which will revolutionize transplants and medicine.
Technologies are moving towards massification and there are serious scientists claiming that aging is & #39; disease & #39; to be resolved in two or three generations, defending the possible immortality. There are many other examples in all areas of human knowledge and, of course, this incredible technological evolution will change our behavior, as we have difficulties in absorbing so many changes in such a short time.
Panic is the feeling that affects business people in these contemporary times, and it is accompanied by uncertainty and the feeling that something big, revolutionary and immediate has to be done, to avoid the risk of everyone being annihilated by this inexorable wave.
Currently, many consultants and speakers are catastrophists and preach & #39; death & #39; if companies do not adopt rapid changes. In fact, the change is irreversible and will follow its course quickly. However, entrepreneurs and society are not condemned, as there are many opportunities arising from this scenario in all areas. Of course, it will be no different with the real estate sector.
We need to know about new technologies and trends, but at the same time, we need to be aware of the many business and professional opportunities that will emerge in this new universe. Countless activities performed by human beings will be replaced by robots or other technological forms. However, activities dependent on creativity, such as art, and management will continue to be carried out by people, with a tendency to be more valued.
The orchestration of the complex civil construction value chain, which mobilizes many agents, demonstrates the need to be conducted by increasingly qualified professionals. Even consolidated technologies such as BIM (Building Information Modeling), which enhance the quality of projects, only bring results if there is a transparent environment and information sharing among all involved. And the creation of favorable environments depends on people and not on technologies.
