Economist Andrew McAfee suggests that, yes, probably, droids will take our jobs
-- or at least the kinds of jobs we know now. In this far-seeing talk, he thinks
through what future jobs might look like, and how to educate coming generations
to hold them.
Andrew McAfee studies how information technology affects businesses
and society.

In this video, Andrew Mcafee talks about droids and how they MIGHT be taking over our jobs, and how they are learning how to talk and build things and how people are needing to do less, and that these new metal men might take away some of the poverty and inequality in the world.
Robots and algorithms are getting good at jobs like building cars, writing
articles, translating -- jobs that once required a human. So what will we humans
do for work? Andrew McAfee walks through recent labor data to say: We ain't seen
nothing yet. But then he steps back to look at big history, and comes up with a
surprising and even thrilling view of what comes next. (Filmed at
TEDxBoston.)

In this video, Andrew Mcafee tells you even more about droids, and how they are going to possibly give humans more time to do things that they want to, and how they are learning how to build and talk, and people are even creating cars that can drive themselves.
There's been an explosion of collaborative consumption -- web-powered sharing of
cars, apartments, skills. Rachel Botsman explores the currency that makes
systems like Airbnb and Taskrabbit work: trust, influence, and what she calls
"reputation capital."
Rachel Botsman writes and speaks on the power of collaboration and
sharing through network technologies, and on how it will transform business,
consumerism and the way we live.

In this video, Rachel Botsman tells us that having trust in people and having visitors at your house could help you. In this she talks about a company called Taskrabbit that has people that run errands for people and that they help people around the house, and sometimes shopping for people. She talks that the more you trust people, the better you trust other people and that it helps you live a gentler and calmer life.

.......This is not what you want to see, when you graph the number of potential employees verses the number jobs in the country, you see the gap gets bigger and bigger over time, and then during the great recession, it opened up in a great way. I did some quick calculations, I took the last 20 years of the GDP growth, and the last 20 years of labor productivity growth, and used them in a fairly straight forward way to try to project how many jobs the economy was going to need to keep growing, and this is the line I came up with. "Is that good or bad this is the government's projection for what the working population to keep going forward"....................
