RE: The End Of Work As We Know It

This actually reminded me of a speaker that I saw quite some time ago. I don't remember where it was, I think maybe it was at an education leadership conference. Anyway, he was talking about how America doesn't produce things like they used to. Other countries have proven that they can produce the stuff much quicker and much cheaper. He was saying what the US needs to do is to embrace that and instead become innovators. His thinking was if we could abandon that other hopeless production race it could be a boon not to just our country but the entire world with the stuff that we might develop. It was very interesting.

As the chart shows, the US kept producing things. Globalization did not kill American manufacturing. Nor did it stop drilling/mining or food production.
This was a myth that was spread for decades, in spite of the data telling us otherwise.
Innovation certainly is key. We see a lot of it taking place. The challenge now is the point being made by that speaker does not apply to America but the human race. We could soon find ourselves at a place where computers and robots can do most things better than humans (and quicker too).
What happens them?

Then we kick back and focus our studies on science, philosophy, and the stars! :)
