 Today, technology enhances our lives. Tomorrow, it will transform them. This is why the Ministry of Information and Communications Technology is not looking back at the successes of its past. It is firmly fixed on the opportunities for the future, a future where Qatar will emerge as an advanced smart society, a society where anything can be taken care of from anywhere in just a few seconds, and its citizens will lead easier, healthier, more sustainable and connected lives. Our homes and mobile devices will be able to monitor our health with advice on how to stay healthy, what to eat, and virtual reality options for exercise at the gym and at home. Our homes will be smart enough to know the appropriate lighting and temperatures when we're at home and save energy when we are not. We'll pay for everything in a more secure, contactless manner. Everyone will get an education that is tailored to their time and needs with a truly connected government where all critical services are available online. We'll be able to talk to anyone, anytime and in any language. Smart businesses will use big data to help them know their customers even better, and super-efficient, on-demand supply chains will provide truly tailored solutions to every project. Our use of resources will be refined and contained according to our need, and solar power will help reduce our footprint. Constant traffic updates will make our vehicles navigate and even park themselves. Virtual reality will open up new avenues of entertainment from personal devices through to entire stadium displays. Behind all this change is a partnership between a forward-thinking government, proactive technology businesses, and switched-on and tech-savvy people, working together to create a smarter life for all toward the smart future.
