The author does it by identifying twelve macro tendencies that are already flowing among us, supported by the fact that in the face of digital technology evolution, we could have not avoided some technological developments that puts us into life changing situations. Those inevitabilities are based on the trends generated by technology itself boosted by the way we interact with technology ourselves.
Basically, we are living a feedback process in terms of technology development. Those trends have influence on the future technologies; on our interaction with technology
All the rest of the functions will be delegated to the machines and artificial intelligence, even more than ever. We are just in the beginning of a never-ending evolution when it comes to technology development, digitization and artificial intelligence.
The author stars his theory by exploring a tendency denominated Becoming. By becoming he means that as long as technology apparently generate products, it is increasingly generating services which are always upon mutation. Everything needs maintenance. The products are dynamic on its lifetime as long as it needs constant maintenance to remain active at the same time they are less considered something owned and perceived as something useful. Good examples of those mutation processes are smartphones, tablets and wearables that are being constantly updated without requesting our approval or any action to do
