Robin Good's insight:
Media and technology futurist Gerd Leonhard outlines his vision of the future of work given the many profound changes shaping the planet during the coming decades.
Key highlights:
- We will be able to offload tedious, repetitive work to computers and robots who will replace rapidly many of our present jobs
- At the same time entirely new jobs will be created -
for example:
Digital Curation
Social Engineering
Artificial Intelligence Designers - We are moving to right-brain work-jobs - that is: storytelling, emotions, creativity and imagination, negotiation
- Education prepares us by having us learn things that we may need later. But in most cases we don't need those things but we rather need to know how to learn new things.
- More craftmanship-type of jobs like cooks, makers, hackers, coders, will fluorish as computers-machines cannot replicate such skills (yet)

Very interesting video, but regarding point 3. that "We are moving to right-brain work-jobs" I must note there are no "right-brain" jobs. This left-right brain distinction is oversimplified neuromyth.
“The latest findings from the real neuroscience of creativity suggest that the right brain/left brain distinction does not offer us the full picture of how creativity is implemented in the brain.* Creativity does not involve a single brain region or single side of the brain.” (http://t.co/3l5nM7IsEi)
