Drivers Of The Trends
Trends are about change and every change has at its core, a "driver." To predict or spot a new trend, look for these basic forms of drivers.
- The need to save time
- The need to reduce cost
- The need to do things faster
- The need to make things easier to use
- The need to improve safety and reliability
- The need to lessen the impact on the environment
The Automation Trend
The next phase of automation will not occur in the factory, but in our homes, in our lives, and in the information that we use.
The last wave of automation in the home was to mechanize simple repetitive tasks such as dish washing and clothes washing. Home automation is driven by the need to save time.
What are the next opportunities to save time in the home:
- Preparing meals
- Cleaning the house
- Acquiring groceries
- Helping children with homework
- Educating the children
- Ironing the clothes
- Making the bed
Say Goodbye To:Data Entry, Programming, Tech Support and Customer Service Jobs
What does this mean for someone just now planning their career. Proximity and creativity are the key. You really have two choices:
- Look for a job that requires a very high level of skill or creativity such as being a writer, designer, musician, inventor, marketing strategist, or film actor.
- Learn a trade or skill that requires hands on presence such as a carpenter, nurse, physician, dental hygienist, or hair stylist.
