Interpretation
Technology Impact Interpretation
While manufacturers are now essentially building a digital crystal ball that tells them what's going to break before it does, who's about to quit on them before they do, and how to fix things before customers even notice they're broken, the irony is that this high-tech fortune-telling is finally making the old-fashioned goal of simply treating people well into a precise and achievable science.
