The concept of using technology to solve problems and make the world a better place is not a new one. The use of fire for cooking and the invention of the wheel to make transportation easier would perhaps be the earliest examples of technology being used for greater good. We have come a long way since then. Today, innovation and technology have touched new heights, and they have immense potential to make our lives easier and better. For instance, look at how the use of agro-technology during India’s Green Revolution boosted agricultural productivity to make India one of the major producers of food grains in the world. In more recent times, the ‘Digital India’ initiative launched by the Indian government where digital technology is used to boost connectivity and bring in transparency in governance, is a good example of how technology can help us build a better world.

We have witnessed a significant number of innovative breakthroughs in the last couple of years. Cutting-edge technologies like Automation, AI, Blockchain, and Analytics hold the promise of creating the right environment that would lead to strategic changes for a better world. The fact all of these technologies are listed in Gartner’s Top 10 Strategic Technology Trends for 2019 underpins their true potential. PwC in collaboration with Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment recently published a report that showcases how AI could be a game changer in addressing the world’s problems including climate change, water security, and biodiversity conservation. Blockchain is another technology that can contribute immensely towards bringing in transparency in supply chains, decentralising utility systems, and improving sustainable resource management. We have already seen how digital tools and advanced analytics have been utilized to provide better services to the citizens. We can expect more benefits from digital transformation initiatives in the coming years. In fact, governments around the globe are already working on creating well-defined digital transformation strategies to enhance governance and improve delivery of services to their citizens.

However, there can be no chance of a better future without the empowerment of the common man. Fortunately for us, new technologies have made significant contribution in this area. Digital connectivity, for instance, has improved access to services like health and education for the common man. Thanks to digital tools and social media, people are more informed about their rights and what is happening around them, and they have also learned to leverage technology to help the causes they care about.

In short, we can say that technology has the power to transform the world into a better place.
