Internet-related technologies are already shaping the world in previously inconceivable ways. The collaborative economy, big/open data, crypto-currencies and additive manufacturing (such as 3D printing) are just some of these technologies, and their potential to change the world, our lives and society as we know them were explored at a workshop hosted by STOA earlier in 2016. STOA has recently followed-up with the publication of its study ‘Impact and Potential of Collaborative Internet and Additive Manufacturing’. The study includes a review of the latest developments for each of the technologies listed above, a forecast of the likely breakthroughs in the next 10 years, an assessment of their potential impact, identification of the key stakeholders, and the formulation of a series of policy options.
