The Shadow on the Wall

During the birth, not one, but two are being delivered a living being and its shadow. No matter if you speak about human, animal or tree. Not only living being is delivered, but we can do the same for the not-living items including houses, cars, lamps, books and much more.

The shadow is what differentiates the PHYSICAL from VIRTUAL

The SHADOW is proof of existence in the physical world.

Application has no shadow. Data have no shadow. Physical robots do, but being under a direct light source, or complete darkness, usually no shadows are to be seen.

The INDUSTRY 5.0 begun with a blog post on LINKEDIN which was copied for better accessibility to MEDIUM. It did not mention the shadows but in four years of existence, I am repeatedly being asked for the proof of INDUSTRY 5.0 existence.

Many ask google and get the replay. Some ask Wikipedia and get no replay.

But those who are really willing to know the truth come to my Workspace to see the INDUSTRY 5.0 and its shadow because SHADOW is what we can see after a hard working day or at its beginning.

Shadow projected by physical items INDUSTRY 5.0 left behind.

It is not just the ordinary shadow is the SHADOW WITH A STORY and this is what differentiates the INDUSTRY 5.0 from INDUSTRY 4.0 and digitalized work, which generates no, or story less mass shadow on the way from production belt to landfill, the graveyard of meaningful existence.

Look around and tell me where is your shadow
