Homo Digitalis: How digitalization makes us more human

Are you also concerned about the rapid digitalization and its impact on healthcare, climate change or the rise of populism? Technological innovations also provide solutions to the challenges we face. That is why we are at a turning point in history.'
- Thierry Geerts

In Homo digitalis, Thierry Geerts, CEO of Google Belgium, looks at the dangers and opportunities of the digital revolution. Without taboos and with a view to the future, he provides numerous provocative examples of how digitalisation influences us as people and society. His conclusion is clear: technology is neutral, it is up to people to deal with it consciously and confidently. If we do that, digitalisation will make us happier, with more time for creativity, depth, care and the things that really matter. Then we become more human. Then homo sapiens will emerge as homo digitalis.
