70 jobs for 2030 -- from The Futurist -- Jan Feb 2011 edition


From DSC:

With potential job titles like Transhumanist consultant, Digital archaeologist, Augmented reality architect, Terabyter (lifelogger), and others…makes you wonder what’s the best way to educate today’s students.  On the top of my list:

  • Be prepared for change; be flexible and adaptable
  • Learn how you best learn — then be prepared to use, tweak, and build on those strategies throughout your lifetime
  • Constantly take pulse checks on what’s happening in the world around you — technologically, politically, demographically, etc.
  • Know where to go for information
  • “Chance favors the prepared/connected mind”  <– a combination of quotes I’ve heard and that I agree with; point is to be constantly building your personal learning networks (PLN’s) and to periodically peer out into the future to see what’s coming down the pike
  • See if you can get a hold of your own learning stats/analytics to ascertain strengths, weaknesses, passions, interests

Addendum on 1-31-11:
I just saw this posting from Catherine Lombardozzi on the Learning Journal blog, as she comments on Thomas’ & Seely Brown’s book. She concludes:

“I’m thinking that the new culture of learning doesn’t replace the old, it enriches it.”

Network Learning: Working Smarter — by Harold Jarche

We need to re-think workplace learning for a networked society. Our organizational structures are becoming more decentralized, with individual access to almost unlimited information, distributed work teams, and digital media that can be copied and manipulated infinitely. In the interconnected workplace, who we know and how we find information are becoming more important than what we know.

From DSC:
I love the quote at the end…“Chance favors the connected mind.”
