Keynote address 2 – Opportunities for 5G in Nigeria

Think about a world in which not just people but all things are connected: cars to the roads they are on; doctors to the personal medical devices of their patients; augmented reality available to help people shop and learn and explore wherever they are. This requires a massive increase in the level of connectivity. 5G will impact every industry – from mobile phones to healthcare, autos, banking, manufacturing, distribution. It is as revolutionary as electricity and will impact the entire ecosystem, economies and societies – https://www.weforum.org/agend/2018

However, the sad truth is that it just needs one talented hacker and a few seconds to make all these security precautions meaningless and access every single
piece of information” -www.welovesalt.com
