Our business and working environment is changing: In factories, robots and machines are taking on more and more tasks, in offices IT specialists are in demand who can operate and maintain new types of technology, and in supermarkets automatic pay stations are replacing staff. But what effects does the ongoing digitalisation have on our society and what advantages and challenges are associated with? Do we really have to fear that we will be completely replaced by machines and robots in the future, or does the Working Environment 4.0 also offer us completely new possibilities and opportunities?
