By: mtwire Does the increasing dominance of technology in society lead to loneliness of the individual? "No!", says Gerhard Fettweis, Professor at the Vodafone Chair for Mobile Communications Systems at the Technical University Dresden, Germany, and IEEE fellow. "Even if we, today and in the future, use mobile communication systems and Internet to shop, exchange knowledge, find new friends and chat -- the virtual world can never replace the real world and the basic human desire for direct, physical experience and face-to-face interaction" At this year's conference "IEEE Technology Time Machine (TTM) - A Symposium on Technologies Beyond 2020" international industry, science and politics experts will discuss visionary technologies and their effects on human life in 10, 50 and 100 years.
