We've entered the 4th industrial revolution, which will empower a fusion of digital, physical, and biological systems. This fusion will be powered by 5G technologies, a foundational data transfer advancement that brings extremely high data speeds (eg: downloading a full HD movie in seconds) and low latency (eg: minimal delay or error in transmission). 

As consumers move increasingly to mobile first entertainment experiences, consumption patterns will evolve. Companies will be able to leverage your trip data (eg: how long it'll take you to get somewhere), location (etc: high accuracy to the point of where you are and what direction you're facing), past viewing history, and outside influences (eg: current events/breaking news/past events that event specific), to serve up content that is customized (and translated in real time to many different languages) to your real time situation in life.
