TheyLied: BioDigital Convergence, SMART Cities, Digital Twin, Internet of Things (IoT), Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) and SMART Everything
Convergence of engineering, nanotechnology, biotechnology, information technology and cognitive science.
How are they connecting our bodies to SMART Cities? James Scott explains:
.
In the context of BioDigital Convergence, ‘The phrase “convergent technologies” refers to the synergistic combination of four major “NBIC”(Nano-Bio-Info-Cogno) provinces of science and technology, each of which is currently progressing at a rapid rate:
(a) nanoscience and nanotechnology;
(b) biotechnology and biomedicine, including genetic engineering;
(c) information technology, including advanced computing and communications; and
(d) cognitive science, including cognitive neuroscience.’
.
This is all connected to the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) of the United Nations which is part of Agenda 2030.

you don't have to defend it.
Let it loose;
it will defend itself."
