HOW TO RESHAPE OUR FUTURE

 It is really difficult to perceive the pace of technological changes in our routine , day to day life. Mostly we fell that there is no change in our life while the accelaration is mind boggling ...

One of biggest misperception is that you think that you need to work hard and neglect your social life , like taking care of your family , your physical and mental body to earn a living but abundant money.

Is the humanity working harder than previous centuries? Or do we have more leaisure time than before ? These are arguable questions. Until we reached todays' legal montly 160  working hours our ancestors spent  longer hours in factories. But do we take into consideration the -new normal of one or two hour commuting ? In big cities  this is real a big problem.

With the actual pandemic , working from home became our new normal adding us many hours to our life . Offering us also the choice to select when we want to work or when we are more energized. For some of us are mornings and for other after. midnights...

The new "Zoom" videoconferance technology made us to understand that travelling is not really such necessary for few hours of business meeting abroad or inland

We are even experiencing company audits from a long distance. This an amazing challange. We must take into consideration that we are actually on the verge of this technological development. Not yet the requisite technology and software is perfect. But getting better and better day by day. Even the internet call leader Skype fell behind Zoom/Team new softwares.

Youtube and Google opened us us a new world for learning what we need. You only need to learn on how to ask them ? And what to ask? You even fix your computer failure with a quick investigation on the media? 

No need to have a good cookbook to prepare an excellent dish. Or to plant flowers into pots , play a musical instrument , computer programming ,you just name it...

In the past it was only libraries offering you information. Persons having access were privileged . Being a librarian was a profession. Now Google  is  listing and sorting a huge variety of choice on what you are looking for. 

In an article Michael Simmons wrote that we need to compete these new technologies and AI softwares in order to survive and have a prosperous life. If we fall behind then our life will be wasted. 

Maybe Deep Blue beated Kasparow in chess tournament but we must take into consideration that Kasparow mental ability is not limited with chess. He can drive a car, cook marvellous dishes, speak many languages, play tennis or swim , read books, talk ... The human capacity is contiously outsmarting the new technology and will continue forever. 

Now the crucial question is what to learn ?
