As Davos enters the middle stretch conversation is hopscotching from automation to Donald Trump back to the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Alec spent most of his day with the International Media Council, which had three presidents present. He was most impressed by one of the youngest, Canada's Justin Trudeau, who's got a C++ qualification and is well suited for discussions around the Internet.
