Future of Job Search: Episode 1
December 5th, 2007
We have seen drastic changes to the way of life in the last decade. Those changes are accelerating, and the workforce of the near future will bear little resemblance to the past. The New Economy is already wiping out traditional office work, and other industries are following, as administration costs fall and job options explode. Productivity is now the guiding light, and things will never be the same again in the workplace.
In the year 2100, it’s quite likely that the only common element between then and now will be humanity, not the environment or the society, and certainly not the technology. Almost none of the current infrastructure, transport, communications, and services fit into emerging science and technology, let alone future science. Production methods change, basic distribution methods change. Even shopping and the basic daily routines of life will change dramatically.
The idea of this series is to explore the possibilities. As the environment changes, people adapt, and their needs change. The internet of today is the first scratchings on the cave walls of the future. The saber tooths and mammoths are still around, slow moving, slow witted relics of the old world. The Ice Age glaciers of resistance to change are in full retreat.
So pick up your spears, and let’s go take a look.

I think this will be a good series. People everyday have to adapt to new changes and sometimes it affects people a lot or a little. In my experience, two major groups are effected…people with little to no experience or background. These people are the ones with little experience in field and graduated from a college that is not as good as others. Or people who are in the middle who are not over-achievers and a big time person comes in with enough knowledge and expertise of two people.

The future of individual office work is in jeopardy for two different people in the world. I think this is a great post and will look forward to the series. The two people that I mentioned are ones with degrees and ones without degrees. Most people with degrees tend to be smarter and can multi task while others seemingly cant. This is where I agree with your statement how office work will be cut down. I think it is inevitable that the market will also decrease cutting more and more jobs each time the market decreases.
