2. Analogy
A century ago, computers were jobs. It was probably one of the most mentally challenging work functions of its day. Today, machines perform computations billions of times faster than people and large computations are no longer done by hand. In upcoming decades, many white-collared jobs and professions will undergo the same transition, re-defining our roles in the workflow and the new competencies required.

3. Intelligence will be everywhere. And they will be mostly non-human.
Machines will answer most questions better than humans.
• Our value-add will become less of providing answers and more of asking right questions.
• The “why” becomes more important than the “how”, which is a higher form of intelligence.
• Whenever machines replaces human operators, old jobs are lost and new jobs are created.
• New jobs are those that transcend machines. The new machine masters (i.e. innovators, entrepreneurs, creative engineers) will triumph.

5. “there’s never been a worse time to be a worker with only ‘ordinary’ skills and abilities to offer, because computers, robots, and other digital technologies are acquiring these skills and abilities at an extraordinary rate.”
“Now comes the second machine age. Computers and other digital advances are doing for mental power—the ability to use our brains to understand and shape our environments—what the steam engine and its descendants did for muscle power.”
