This article describes how politicians and business leaders are going to be thinking through the next stage of economy. Businesses will be incorporating IT into a change of business strategy. The focus is going to be on efficiency, sustainability, and circular economies.  

This kind of re-invention is fundamental to the coming technological and economic revolution.

Imagine a world in which you call up a plane on your smartphone as easily as you can summon cars from Uber and Lyft. Then take it to the next level: The plane has no pilot, completely controlled by automatic algorithms.
Jovanna Santamaria's curator insight, March 17, 2015 9:33 AM

This idea is in impressive and just amazing how our technology and engineering is just betters by the years. This areo-moblie will be the solution of hectic traffic, car accidents and more. I love the fact that it can travel for 900 miles and 3 hours in the air, in just one hour you can get so far and get to so many places. I know that Google has been working on these flying cars for years and they are close on making it happen and providing to the people. As well as the Uber Company, which was a phenomenal idea, it prevents people from drinking and driving. Uber is not only making it easier for people but also its saving lives by the day.  Im just in love with the idea and I love how the government is trying to make it easy for us. But ,The question is how much will this flying car cost?

In response to Uber’s rise, there has been a flurry of proposals for driver-owned alternatives.
