What Happened? ProtonMail, the popular encrypted email service, is changing its name and expanding its offerings. The company plans to become a privacy-focused ecosystem, with a range of services that can be accessed through one paid subscription. This move comes as more and more people are concerned about their online privacy. ProtonMail is hoping to capitalize on this trend by making it easy for users to protect their data across multiple platforms.
Why is this important? Privacy is inherent to being human. We have curtains on our windows and locks on our doors, but we tend to keep the digital world disconnected from the physical one. So if you liken Google to a surveillance camera that follows you everywhere you go and records everything you say and do, We wouldn’t accept it in real life.
On the internet, somehow, because it’s not visible, we tend to believe that it isn’t there. But the surveillance that you are blind to is far more harmful than the one you are aware of. In a world where our data is increasingly being collected and sold, it’s important to have tools that help us protect our privacy. ProtonMail is making it easier for people to do just that.
By offering a suite of privacy-focused services, the company is giving users a one-stop shop for all their digital privacy needs. What does this mean for the future of Proton? Only time will tell how successful Proton’s expansion into the world of online privacy will be. However, the company’s commitment to user privacy is clear.
As more and more people become concerned about their online data, Proton is positioned to be a leader in the space. With its easy-to-use products and dedication to protecting user data, Proton is well on its way to becoming the Google of privacy.

Our world is changing at an exponential rate! A big tidal wave of digital transformation and disruption is coming at us fast. Many organizations see this wave as a threat and experience stress, but there are also organizations that just see this wave as an opportunity.
Embracing the advancements of technology and AI can enhance our humanity. We can focus on developing our unique talents and skills by automating mundane tasks and freeing up our time. As humans, we can adapt and learn, allowing us to evolve and stay relevant in a rapidly changing world constantly.
Organizations will need to be more fluid, dynamic, and adaptable: the ability to change and adjust in response to new situations and environments. We are on the cusp of a new era of organizations, ones that are more fluid and agile and which behave like swarms we see in nature.
In the future, 3D printing and generative design will allow for products to be designed in a more decentralized manner, and production will take place closer to the customer and fully on-demand. 3D printing technology will also allow for more customization and personalization of products.
The agricultural industry is ripe for disruption. Robotics, AI, and IoT are all technologies that have the potential to radically transform the way we grow food. In combination with vertical farming, these technologies could increase the efficiency and quality of agricultural products.
A human-centered society is one that puts people first and where technology is used to unite and empower people. It is a society that values biological life and dignity above all else. It is a society that recognizes the importance of human relationships and works to strengthen them. In a human-centered society, all members of the community are valued and treated with respect.
The future of healthcare is here. New technologies like AI, IoT, big data, and smart sensors make it possible to become the CEO of your own health.
