Work, Learning and Living in the Future*

The digital default is coming

“We will be online all the time in virtual / augmented reality.  We won’t be looking at devices such as tablets and phones.  Rather, computer

displays will be fully integrated with real reality” (Ray Kurzweil)

1 - 2 - 4 - 8 - 16 - 32 - 64 - 128 ...Exponential technological changes - but humans remain linear

Learning in the Cloud: it may take longer but when it does happen it is probably much bigger than we thought

Our future assistants, agents, helpers...

Focus on the human factor!

Next: the Tricorder for Learning ?

Mobile devices are becoming our external brains

“Search engines won’t wait for you to ask for information.  They will know you like a friend, aware of your concerns and

interests at a detailed level” Ray Kurzweil

‘Finding relevant stuff’ is becoming a good job for robots

Vizuality. Cross-Media. Intuition. Imagination

If our work - and our output - is ‘robotic’ we will soon be surpassed by intelligent software agents and machines

So we can (must) set free what makes us human...!

Being (becoming or remaining) Indispensable

The ‘Digital Default’ is (mostly) a huge opportunity
