Chapters
The world that some of you will adopt or inherit as you walk out of these doors is a different world than many of us had 35 years ago, 30, 35 years ago, when we came out of doors like this. When you just look at the sheer size of the population and what stress that will put on resilience, on infrastructure. When you look at, for example, that smartphones will eclipse landlines, what does that mean for the network and the underpinning of smartphones and how we talk about privacy for the data on those phones. When you start to look at the fact, how much data will be created, how is it stored, how is it accessed, what does it look like when that much data is being created for every human on the planet every second of the day? Look, for many of us in my generation, we thought of the jobs we would have. We actually started to map to the jobs we would have at high school and college. We started to talk about our careers. But we do have a phenomena that is here, and whether you call it cobot, which is the collaboration of bot and human, some of the new technology and terminology, but this idea of living in a mixed reality world is real and it's coming and it's here in some places. What does that mean for jobs? What does that mean for displacement of jobs? What does that mean for people in categories that are ripe for displacement? And how are we ensuring that technology has the dividend that we anticipate?
