Libelium came up with an easy-to-understand chart of what a Smart [Digital] World would look like in the future. Some of these trends are already in the radar of a few cities and/or a few wealthy people.

Here are 7 questions to be answered:

1. How dumb is the digital world as we know it?
2. Which features would be really convenient for society?
3. Could a fair balance between privacy and safety be reached?
4. How different would government need to be?
5. How broadly could such features be spread to the world’s population?
6. What if some of these functions have temporary shut-downs or are hackable?
7. Which of these features, if made available, will become mandatory or eligible?
