Ep. 1 | Death of Distance | Dr. Abel Sanchez

About this episode

By the year 2000, approximately 385 million people around the world had acquired a new way to communicate, and a new global source of information on a giant scale: the Internet. 20 years later, we are now facing the Death of Distance. In this episode, delivered by MIT Faculty member Dr. Abel Sanchez, a peek at the future of communications is offered: a world in which transmitting information costs almost nothing, in which distance is irrelevant, and in which any amount of content is instantly accessible--but only a peek, for the Internet is merely a prototype for something more sophisticated that will soon arrive. Discover what lies ahead of us in the latest episode of MIT Professional Education's new series with Dr. Abel Sanchez to stay up to date with the Digital Transformation.
