5G投資以百億美元計，多國仍然爭相開發，因為潛能浩大。試想像把所有事物，包括智能手機，家中各樣智能電器、衣服鞋襪眼鏡手錶、運動設備（籃球、網球拍）；同時，各個室內場所，如商場、學校、辦公大樓內的保安系統，以至汽車、道路橋樑、地底喉管、海陸空中收集交通、人流、天氣、空氣質素、環境中的化學成分等數據的感應器等，這些數以千百億計物件都透過容量龐大而高速的5G網絡串連起來，可提供從智能家居、遙距診症以至手術、無人駕駛、虛擬實境和擴增實境娛樂等的服務。可以說，5G把我們帶進萬物互聯的時代。

去年我前赴日本，重訪成立五週年的Knowledge Capital，再一次驚嘆日本人如何以創新科技，激發大眾對未來的想像。該機構位於大阪「市區中心僅存的黃金地段」，是一個讓企業人士、研究者、創作家以及一般民眾互動交流之地。除了是匯聚各行各業精英的平台外，也肩負向開發人員反映市民所需，務求成為「結合智慧、創造價值」的新據點，而他們整座建築物都設有不少未來生活的演示，是一個寓學習於遊戲的好玩地方。

As early as 2016, the Smart City Consortium (SCC) that I founded has submitted an advisory paper to the government, pointing out that one of the requirements for a smart city was that all information of the government and authorities be available in “digital by default". It enhances governance transparency and respects the public’s right to know. In early January, the SAR Government announced more than 650 new datasets will be released this year via the Public Sector Information Portal (data.gov.hk) for free viewing and use by the public.
