The technological disruption that transformed the music industry a decade ago is fast impacting health, employment and education services. Our high streets are endeavouring to withstand the combined pressures of austerity and a burgeoning internet economy, such that local authorities are struggling to breathe new life into regeneration plans and stem the tide of vacant shops. Meanwhile, rural areas clamour for improved connectivity to halt the flight of young adults to our soon-to-be ‘smart cities’, and with 90% of jobs set to require e-skills within five years, those excluded communities already ‘left behind’ by the digital revolution face worsening employment prospects still over the years to come.
