Participant Guide: Technology

The Envision Participant Guide provides an in-depth exploration of the opportunities and challenges which may shape the future of Prince George’s County.

In today’s excerpt, we take a look at the major forces and changes taking place globally, in the region, and in Prince George’s County, that might impact our future. A report from the Brookings Institution outlines some of the opportunities and challenges these changes offer.

Technological changes

Continuing technological changes will affect all aspects of work—what is done, where it is done, and who does what—and it will have enormous consequences for workforce development. Technological change includes further advances in information management and analysis and the emerging nanotech, biotech, and greentech fields. Many of these new technologies will require new regulatory agencies likely to be located in this region.

For much more background on our county, please download and review the Envision Participant Guide (note: This is a large 2MB PDF file), and look for many more Participant Guide excerpts here at the Envision blog.
