THE WEB and smartphone are just the latest in a 250-year-long pattern of disruption that has continuously changed the way we live, the way we work, and the way we interact. The arriving Augmented Years, however, promises a level of disruption, behavioral shifts, and changes that are unparalleled. While consumers today are camping beyond an Apple store waiting to be one of the first ever to score a fresh Apple Watch or iPhone, another technology of wearables can forecast if we're more likely to have a heart attack and recommend a plan of action. We watch reports of Google's self-driving automobiles, but don't likely realize this means progressive cities will have to ban human individuals in the next ten years because us humans are too high-risk. Pursuing on from the Industrial or Machine Years, the Space Years and the Digital Years, the Augmented Years depends on four key disruptive themes or templates - Artificial Intelligence, Experience Design, Smart Infrastructure, and HealthTech. Historically, the prior "ages" helped bring significant disruption and changes, but on the net basis, careers were created, prosperity was enhanced, and the health and security of population improved. What will the Augmented Years bring? Will robots take our careers and AI's subsume us as substandard intelligences? Or will this usher in a fresh age of abundance? Augmented is a reserve on future record, but, more than that, it is a story about how exactly you will live life in a world that changes more in the next 20 years than it offers within the last 250 years. Are you set to adapt? Because if record proves anything, you don't have much of a choice.
