In 2018, Tangshan realized automatic highway tolls, and all toll collectors were laid off. A elder sister went to the government department to say the reason, the reason was "My youth is dedicated to toll collectors, and nothing except toll collectors. From the news about Tangshan toll collectors, we can find that robots (AI) will replace humans to engage in simple and standardized work will become a trend. So in the future, how should humans compete with robots? What kind of work should they do? What kind of trend will the future work show? How to grasp the trend and plan a blueprint for life? This "A Brief Study of Work in Ten Years" will bring us some inspiration.
One of the co-authors of this book, Yoichi Yasu, understands future work from the perspective of scientists. Yoichi Yasu is young and promising, born in 1987. He is a Japanese contemporary media artist, a PhD from the University of Tokyo, an associate professor at Tsukuba University and an assistant to the president. He is dedicated to studying the application fields of CGH, digital manufacturing, and human-computer interactive computer technology, and is known as a "modern magician". After watching Yoichi's documentary, I know how powerful he is! The creative combination of sound, light, and physical vibration changes allow deaf and mute people to enjoy music; combined with VR technology and mechanical wheelchair, people with disabilities can complete designated actions through remote collaboration of others; use ultrasound to transmit objects and apply this technology to art... And he is also constantly conducting in-depth research and transforming these studies into practical technologies. I found an interview program of Yoichi Yasu and Kazuya.
Another co-author, Hoe , interprets future work from the perspective of an entrepreneur. Horie Takafumi's experience is even more legendary than Luohe Yangichi. Horie was born in a poor family and had many problems with his original family: his parents were busy with a meager job, his mother had a bad temper, and even wanted to kill him because Horie didn't go to the post office to work. Horie decided to study at the University of Tokyo, the number one in Japan. From then on, he worked hard and became a top student from a gangster. Founded on the at the age of 26 edge company, after which the company developed rapidly, successfully listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange in 2000 and became a listed company, which is now LiveDoor. In 2006, Horie was prosecuted by the prosecution for suspected financial fraud and sentenced to two years and six months in prison. In prison, Horie was not idle either, and set up a paid column and insisted on updating the article. After being released from prison, Horie founded a small rocket company and a limited steak shop. Both companies have achieved certain success. This is Horie's speech invited to the university graduation meeting. If you are interested, you can take a look.
keeps up with the trend of the times and keeps changing
With the development of artificial intelligence technology, it will become an inevitable trend for machines (AI) to replace humans with simple, boring and low-paying jobs in the future. In the future, formal white-collar employees with unclear personal values can only go three ways: either transform into blue-collar workers and provide labor that can be converted into hourly wages; or strive to squeeze into a very important business team for the company; or become an expert in "handling problems according to local conditions" and provide a higher level of value.
creates unique value and treats fun as work
Talents who can provide irreplaceable value are the most valuable. How to create irreplaceable value? In fact, it only takes two sentences to make it clear: focus on hobbies, develop hobbies to the extreme, and make it your job. Combine several hobbies and strive to be the talent that can be chosen from millions. It is too difficult to become a talent that can be chosen from millions! But choosing from one in a hundred is relatively simple. Find two other fields and strive to choose from one in a hundred. Multiplying the three is "1/100*1/100*1/100=1/1000000". This is the power of cross-border and the future development opportunity for individuals.
Money is going to disappear, and credit creates value
In the future, money will change from a physical object with a currency form to a credit-based virtual currency and cryptocurrency. So what you need to save is not money, but credit. In a credit-based society, how to make its own value easier to exchange is the key to not ignore. We need to recognize our abilities or works to exchange, and understand the value we present to others.For example, the rings you own are exchangeable, the creative products you create are also exchangeable, and skills that are invisible to the naked eye also have exchangeable value. So you should do more things you like, constantly expand your skills, and turn yourself into a "can of value" full of capital value.
It should be noted that some of the views in this book "A Briefing of Work in Ten Years" are somewhat extreme. For example, the description of Sesame Credit seems to be very similar to the one I read, but when I think about it calmly, it is not exactly as the author interprets it. We cannot simply believe in all these views, nor can we completely deny them in extreme detail. Absorb valuable places and try them as your own values, observe real life, and constantly adjust according to actual situations.
This book "A Brief for Work in Ten Years" reminds me of "Technological Economics" I studied in college. Applying the theory of technical economics, this book can be classified as technical human resources science, and studies the laws and development trends of human resources from the perspective of technological development, so that readers can understand the future development trends of human resources. I sincerely recommend this book "Ten Years' Work Picture Book" to every student who is about to find a job, a worker who is working hard in the workplace, and a small and medium-sized entrepreneur who is starting a business. Everyone should understand the trends of work well so as to better plan their life blueprint. Don’t be afraid of the future, don’t fall in love with the past, live in the present.
