Abstract

People and governments were forced to turn digital during times like recent
pandemic, a situation which was premeditated through the appearance of Wi-Fi
and battery at the bottom of basic human needs hierarchy. Failure to follow these
trends will impact not only individuals, but more on the economy, and geopolitics.
Many do not realize that this arises by the dawn of the 4th Industrial Revolution.
In the past, industrial revolutions have paved the way towards World Wars. Now,
cyber-attacks are multiplying along with rapid growth of transnational problems,
and major powers are embarking again on new weapons development. When it is
the case, will we then head for prosperity or devastation? Answering this requires
extreme stretch from individual humanistic up to global geopolitical perspectives,
and interdisciplinary synthesis of common denominators between them that will
act as a common ground to catalyze consensus for peace instead of battle.
