Technology is eating your job (part 2) — For those who need more convincing — by Michelle Martin
Excerpts:
The reason I’m harping on technology so much is because for most of us, I believe this is a ticking time bomb we are trying to ignore. Most of us want to keep our heads down and just keep working, hoping that we aren’t going to be the ones displaced by a piece of software or some other form of automation.
This will be a mistake. And it will blow up in your face. You need to start thinking now about how to future-proof yourself as much as possible so that you’re more prepared for this breaking wave of technology.
From DSC:
This is truly a troubling subject. I often ask myself the following questions:
- Is an entire swath of people being left behind?
- Am I in that swath?
(It sure feels like it at times; it feels like the tidal waves of change are washing over us and we’re all starting to flail about. Perhaps it’s too early to tell, but I think we’ll all feel this soon.) - What do we do about this developing situation? What does it mean for K-12? Higher ed? The corporate world?
Thanks Michelle for the important posting/heads-up!
