The document discusses the vision and plans for a future smart society. It outlines four megatrends shaping future society: (1) a human-oriented society focused on creativity, (2) an aging population, (3) increased risks and uncertainties, and (4) rapid technology development. It also discusses how a smart revolution powered by advances in information and communication technologies will transform society and argues that governments must shift to more open, people-powered models that empower citizens to create new values.
