This Fourth Industrial Revolution is, however, fundamentally different. It is characterized by a range of new technologies that are fusing the physical, digital and biological worlds, impacting all disciplines, economies and industries, and even challenging ideas about what it means to be human.(Schwab, 2017) Technological advances have been altering the dynamics of social interaction and societal processes ever since, with each subsequent industrial revolution bringing about new implications for our societies and economies, and thus for the political process and politics.ICT
