It is hard to imagine a time before the Internet; before Google, YouTube and Netflix. Gen-Z can't wrap their heads around the fact we had to fax or send documents by snail mail to get them signed. Gen Z can't relate to having to go out to physical stores to buy Christmas presents, or that we couldn't see the other people on the other end of the phone when we called them (or that you couldn't call for "free," for that matter). They're growing up with Dropbox, Uber, Facebook, FaceTime, HelloSign and Amazon. Our kids experience a world where everything can be done online and orders are brought straight to our front door, often within the hour. They experience the world at a fast and practical rate - more or less free of waiting periods. This will affect them and their view of what the future can bring.
However, in the workplace, we'll see the introduction of a range of new hybrids and ways of working, not to mention a fundamental shift in what it means to have a so-called "job." The offices of Google, Facebook and a lot of new tech start-ups are set up to ensure that you never need to leave "your job." You can live your entire life on the premises. You can bring your dog to work, swim, exercise and eat free food cooked by some of the world's best chefs. You can get blood tests and haircuts on-site, invite your family for free dinners, take iPads, new phone batteries, chargers, laptops or mobile phones out of vending machines as if they were soft drinks; free of charge. You have everything you could possibly need, but why do they pamper their employees like that? The answer is simple: To recruit and retain the best talent. Some people and companies get borderline aggressive when someone mentions that in lots of jobs and industries, people will soon become redundant. It may be difficult to accept, but that doesn't change the fact that it will happen and we won't be able to keep hiding behind trade unions when work becomes borderless—and being borderless is the defining characteristic of digital work! Technology can and will automate many of the jobs in the current market. To some extent, most of us will be affected by the future within the next 3-5 years. Technology can and will help you make faster and better decisions, but you probably wouldn't leave the critical thinking to technology. Your future will depend on your ability to think—and on your common sense because computers don't have that. Realistically, we are headed straight for a digital talent drought, and experts predict that more than 30% of so-called "tech jobs" will be unfilled by 2020. What can we expect from our work life and collaboration in the future, when there will be not just five, but upwards of seven generations in the workforce? Researchers like Nick Bostrom estimate that computers and technology will be smarter than people by 2050. Only a minuscule number of jobs will remain that require human input. For humans to keep up, we have to figure out how to optimize not only our IQ (traditional intelligence) and EQ (emotional intelligence), but also our GQ (global intelligence) and DQ (digital intelligence). These four intelligences are the framework for your readiness in the future.
