Sussex County needs to attract industries that will adapt and thrive in the rapidly advancing technological environment:
AI (Artificial Intelligence) - much of repetitive service jobs and manufacturing jobs may be replaced by robots - even medicine.
3-D Printing that personalizes products - Mass production may be replaced by in-time, personalized production
VR/AR (Virtual Reality/Augmented Reality) - utilizing 3-d cameras, for example, making 'fitting' easier without actually trying on.
Self-Driving Electric Cars - Gas stations and auto insurances will be done away with and public transportation/car ownership concept may change.
Blockchain - to solve internet security issues while decentralizing data storage; to breakup monopoly of big-data companies; etc.

Congolese designer, Anifa Mvuemba, gave a preview of what catwalks might look like in a post-pandemic world with a collection using virtual models.
Mvuemba released the latest collection for her fashion brand, Hanifa, on Instagram live on Friday. During the show, the digital models sashayed down the runway with the designer's outfits draped on headless, three-dimensional bodies.
The Pink Label Congo collection featured pants and dresses in vibrant colors and was described as the future of runway fashion by spectators.
Mvuemba, whose previous designs have been worn by celebrities such as rapper Cardi B, told Teen Vogue, she already had plans to go digital with her collection before various Covid-19 restrictions were put in place around the world.
She said in the interview with the fashion magazine that she had been working for seven months to create the computer-generated models, "Designing content using 3D models and now an entire collection has been a complete game changer for me. "It actually requires an even greater amount of attention-to-detail for the clothes to fit and look just right."
Hanifa's virtual collection is part of a growing trend of fashion houses increasingly embracing technology to showcase their designs.
Last year American fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger used an Instagram influencer Noonoouri created by a graphic designer to promote their products.
Hilfiger's CEO said at the time, "they shape consumers' purchasing decisions, inspiring them in more relevant ways, further blurring the lines between digital and reality."
8 Augmented Reality (AR) Shopping Apps to Help You Avoid Buyer's Remorse
8 Augmented Reality (AR) Shopping Apps to Help You Avoid Buyer's Remorse
Chandra Steele - August 6, 2020
"The orange sofa does not look right in that corner, so you move it to the center of the room. You're strong, you're independent, you need no help. But the color is off. Maybe if it was aqua? So you fix that, too. Wait? How did you pull that off? You're not magic, you're just equipped with an augmented-reality shopping app.
We've all become accustomed to online shopping, but it has its limits. This is particularly evident now that it's the primary way most people are shopping because of COVID-19. Every full shopping cart comes with it the risk of a letdown when your order arrives. The color, the size, the look, any number of things could be off and require the most dreaded of tasks: returning through the mail.
Enter augmented reality. With the help of developer tools like Apple's ARKit to Google's ARCore, apps are becoming more immersive. It's slightly surreal to see pieces of furniture popping in and out of your living room or different shades of lipstick showing up on your lips."

MSN is shifting to a model that relies on artificial intelligence to curate news stories, and thus Microsoft plans to release nearly 80 contractors in the United States and the United Kingdom.

Microsoft will replace humans with robots to curate MSN's news stories, according to The Seattle Times and The Guardian.
It'll use artificial intelligence to identify stories, modify their headlines or images, and redistribute them. MSN offered original reporting until 2013, and then Microsoft pivoted the platform to aggregate existing content from other media outlets. Microsoft pays its partners fees to redistribute their content.
