Will our kids get a drivers license? Will they even need one???
So, as I watch the incredible advancements for self driving cars I can’t help but think about what this may mean for our kids. I remember my first car, a crappy Chevy Spectrum I got from my mom. I loved that car. Not because it was awesome, because it was NOT. It actually looked more like a refrigerator on wheels (see picture) but I loved it because of what it represented. Freedom. Independence. Adventure….. It’s strange to think that our kids will not only not need a license, they probably won’t even care about getting one. …
The 4th Industrial Revolution and Why Workforce Investment Boards are Critical to Local Prosperity
There is a shift sweeping through our nation and there is no denying that business models and economies are changing at an exponential rate. From self-driving cars to Artificial Intelligence, Uber to Air BnB, we are on the cusp of the most transformative time in the history of Humanity. (Ok, so I know that it might be easy to dismiss this kind of talk as “Overblown.” “Out there”. “CRAZY.”) But before you tune out, think about this: President Obama recently warned Congress that robots are going to begin taking over jobs that pay less than $20 an hour, and a …
Could Central PA be hit harder by Technological change than others? Experts say “YES”.
It’s no secret the world is in a frenzy over robots. I get really excited but I completely understand why it can be scary. Things are changing at an accelerated rate and the headlines are full of stories about robots taking jobs. It’s easy to see this kind of stuff and think it’s way over blown. We tend to always put any talk of Robots and Artificial Intelligence in our “Future Bucket”. The truth is, things are definitely changing…and fast. President Obama recently warned congress that robots are going to begin taking over jobs that pay less than $20 an …
Time to kick the bucket! The “Future Bucket” that is.
No, I’m not saying we should all meet on a mountain top, drink some happy juice and wait for the mothership, this is a different kind of bucket we need to kick. The “Future Bucket”. For the longest time, the media has had us looking in the wrong direction. We’ve had our eye out for flying cars, time travel and our robot overlords but when they didn’t show up we thought, “Thanks a lot Technology! I guess it will never happen”. From Terminators to Marty McFly, every time someone talks about any futuristic technology, we immediately think “been there, done …
The future is here and it’s time for Central PA to get ready! York Plan 2.0 anyone?
I recently had the honor of being the Keynote Speaker for MANTEC’s Business Innovation Conference (see video below this post) and I’m not going to lie…. for the first time in a loooong time, I was nervous. I get the chance to speak to groups all over the United States about the Exponential advancement of Tech and the impact it’s going to have on our communities, so this is kind of my thing. In a past life I was the lead singer of my band (see awesome throw back band picture), so getting on stage has always been in my wheelhouse. …
