Beyond Jobs: Partnering with Technology - Futurist Kwame
Manage episode 471473712 series 3547803
We explore how technology should be viewed as a partner rather than an enemy, making life and work easier while freeing human creativity from repetitive tasks.
• Technology has always taken redundant jobs to free humans for more creative work
• Historical perspective helps us see current tech disruption as part of a longer adaptation pattern
• Build "non-technology cannibalizing skills" that automation and AI cannot replace
• Take your education into your own hands as knowledge is more accessible than ever
• Develop computational thinking to understand how tech fits in your industry
• Build digital literacy by staying informed about emerging technological trends
• Document your learning process and share valuable content to build your brand
• People often judge messages by the messenger rather than the content
• Resistance to trying new approaches prevents many from professional advancement
Take your education into your own hands, develop computational thinking, document your process, and share it with the world. These simple steps can help you build a sustainable career in any industry.
