The Future of Work: Quantified Employees, Pop-Up Workplaces, And More Telepresence For many people, especially those working at desk jobs, the workplace is very different than it was 20 years ago: there’s a computer at every desk, telecommuting is fairly common, and the traditional cubicle is giving way to more collaborative spaces. We’ve seen predictions about where we’ll go from here before; now PSFK, a popular blog that also happens to be a thriving consultancy, has come up with its own version of the future of work, described in a new 138-page report. It’s not as fantastical as many future-forward reports--it’s planted firmly in ideas that are already gaining a lot of traction. Perhaps that makes it more accurate. Here are our takeaways. Startup Training and Skills Marketplaces PSFK imagines that learning initiatives for young entrepreneurs, such as Enstitute, will become the norm. Office Feedback Culture You know the employee that keeps screwing up and eventually just gets fired without really understanding why? Quantified Workers More Social Communication Tools

Gartner Top 10 Strategic Technology Trends for 2018 - Smarter With Gartner Explore the latest: Your Detailed Guide to Gartner Top 10 Strategic Technology Trends 2023 How do designers make cars safer? They treat them like a school of fish. Safe Swarm, recently unveiled by Honda, uses vehicle-to-vehicle communication to allow cars to pass information on to other cars in the vicinity. For example, alerts about an accident miles up the road could be relayed to cars miles back, enabling them to operate collaboratively and intelligently to avoid accidents and mitigate traffic. The evolution of intelligent things, such as collective thinking car swarms, is one of 10 strategic trends with broad industry impact and significant potential for disruption. “The continuing digital business evolution exploits new digital models to align more closely the physical and digital worlds for employees, partners and customers,” says David Cearley, vice president and Gartner Fellow, at Gartner 2017 Symposium/ITxpo in Orlando, Florida.

10 well paid jobs of the future Mr Bellini posited the idea of an elderly well-being consultant, who specialises in personalised care for older patients, or a memory augmentation surgeon who helps counter memory loss. He also saw big changes in farming as food resources became scarce, with genetically modified crops becoming common and crops grown vertically in areas resembling multi-storey car parks to save space. Ian Pearson, a futurologist who wrote You Tomorrow, sees job growth in the field of augmented reality, where the real world is overlaid with computer-generated images. “When you look at a building it’s constrained by planning laws, but in cyberspace you can make it look however you want,” he said. “A company with a high street presence could make their shop look like Downton Abbey, or set it in a post-nuclear apocalypse environment.” Mr Pearson also argued that the better technology gets, the more people will have to focus on their “human skills” to survive in the workforce.

Garbage designer, robot counsellor among the predicted jobs of 2030 About 15 years from now, farmers will have made their way from the countryside to the city, counsellors will help ensure the right robot goes to the right family and garbage designers will lead the upcycling movement. Those are some predictions made by the Canadian Scholarship Trust Plan’s Inspired Minds initiative, which aims to give Canadians a sneak peek of the job market in 2030. Some of the more curious careers include: Nostalgist: A mix between a therapist, an interior designer and a historical researcher, a nostalgist will help the wealthy elderly of 2030 create a living space inspired by their favourite decade. Rewilder: The old name for this job was "farmer." Farming will continue to take place, but in greenhouses located on skyscrapers, which will be known as vertical farms. Tele-surgeon: They're not fixing your telephone -- as telephones could very well be a thing of the past in 2030 -- they're fixing your insides.

TrendForce 發布 2018 年十大科技趨勢 全球市場研究機構 TrendForce 針對 2018 年科技產業發展，發布十大科技趨勢新聞。 AI 導入加速邊緣運算需求與雲端數據分析 過往雲端運算被用來進行資料運算與後續分析處理，但對於低延遲、即時性的需求逐漸升起，傳統雲端運算架構反而略顯不足，邊緣運算的導入有助於進行資料的預處理，降低資料流量與傳輸時間，亦可將運算能力下移至終端，強化終端對於環境的即時回饋；2018 年邊緣運算將開始實質地導入各垂直應用領域中，將資料運用的更有效率與價值。 區塊鏈走向商用部署，金融領域先行 2017 年區塊鏈技術已從概念走向實作，企業、各國政府對區塊鏈技術接受度提高。 5G 行動通訊技術開啟應用多元化之需求 2018 年物聯網時代更會加重網路負荷，下世代 Wi-Fi 技術 802.11ax 將改善此種情況。 VR 產品聚焦獨立 VR 裝置 次世代的 HTC Vive、Oculus Rift 等 PC 端的 VR 產品尚不會在短期間內推出，在 Google、Facebook 等網路服務商的帶領之下，2018 年更被關注的將會是獨立 VR 裝置的推出。 智慧型手機生物辨識技術再掀波瀾 2017 年 iPhone X 採用人臉辨識取代過往指紋辨識設計，除了支援行動支付外，進階延伸 AR 相關應用領域，2018 年非蘋陣營蠢蠢欲動，生物辨識技術話題在智慧型手機市場將再掀波瀾。 全螢幕滲透率跳躍式提升 帶動手機外觀新風潮 受到 Apple 與 Samsung 2017 年新機種設計的鼓舞，以及在面板廠無論是 OLED、LTPS 或 A-Si 陣營都全面響應的前提下，2018 年採用全螢幕設計的智慧型手機將呈跳躍式普及，預估滲透率將由今年不到 10% 快速攀升至 36% 的水準。 Mini LED 技術有機會於 2018 年導入背光應用 由於 Micro LED 的技術門檻較高，目前仍有相當多的問題需要克服，相關廠商主推 Mini LED 技術。 Level 4 晶片正式出貨 可望實現自動駕駛願景 汽車智慧化過程中所需的資通訊及安全性相關系統及零組件正蓬勃發展，包括雷達、影像或感測器、車用處理器及運算晶片、ADAS 系統、車用顯示器、車聯網等相關應用至為關鍵。 晶圓代工產業重現四大業者競爭局勢 2018 年全球太陽能市場仰中國鼻息 （首圖來源：Shutterstock）
If Schools Don't Change, Robots Will Bring On a 'Permanent Underclass': Report Robots are taking all the jobs. But are we, the average, moderately skilled humans, screwed, or aren't we? Let me just get it out of the way now: We are, unless there are drastic, immediate changes to education and economic systems around the world. The dominant narrative going around today about Pew Research's new report on artificial intelligence and the future of jobs is that experts can't really decide whether automation is going to make working obsolete, that it's really a toss up whether robots will simply create new jobs in other sectors as they destroy ones in other. That's true, in one sense: The 1,896 futurists, CEOs, journalists, and university professors questioned for the report were split in half over robots will "displace significant numbers of both blue- and white-collar workers," with 52 percent of respondents agreeing that "human ingenuity will create new jobs, industries, and ways to make a living, just as it has been doing since the dawn of the Industrial Revolution."
Future of Work: What Skills Will Help Us Keep Pace? From Elon Musk’s tweet that artificial intelligence may be more dangerous than nuclear weapons to the growing clamor of voices warning robots will take away our jobs, it is clear we are focusing more on the problems of AI, robotics, and automation than the solutions. While the problems are real and should be taken into account, social innovators around the world are already working to deliver solutions. It’s true that today’s technology is reworking the economy and our role in it. But this needn’t herald economic end times. This is nothing new. During the Industrial Revolution, in the US, we demanded every child attend school and learn reading, writing and math. Throughout the 20th century, humanity poured tremendous resources into ensuring every human develop these skills as technologies advanced. Most of us have heard of STEM skills (science, technology, engineering, and math), but there is another lesser known skillset that will also be critical.
LEGAL FUTURES Report: artificial intelligence will cause "structural collapse" of law firms by 2030 1 December 2014 AI: computers that ‘think’ spell doom for many lawyers Robots and artificial intelligence (AI) will dominate legal practice within 15 years, perhaps leading to the “structural collapse” of law firms, a report predicting the shape of the legal market has envisaged. Civilisation 2030: The near future for law firms, by Jomati Consultants, foresees a world in which population growth is actually slowing, with “peak humanity” occurring as early as 2055, and ageing populations bringing a growth in demand for legal work on issues affecting older people. This could mean more advice needed by healthcare and specialist construction companies on the building and financing of hospitals, and on pension investment businesses, as well as financial and regulatory work around the demographic changes to come; more age-related litigation, IP battles between pharmaceutical companies, and around so-called “geriatric-tech” related IP. The human part of lawyering would shrink. By Dan Bindman
