My timeline maxes out at 10 years, but yours may be for the next 30, or maybe 40 years.
Sooo.....for the past several hours, have been reading stuff about what's happening in technology.... from a $$$ standpoint, jobs, the economy in general, philosophy, history and what it will mean to our retirement.
Just in the past few days, stunning news items that are sure to change how we live and what will be happening around us.
A few examples...
Amazon and Whole foods... what it means to grocery stores and the retail industry. With retail and cashiering providing the greatest number of all US jobs, what happens when robots and tech changes the employment picture.
Physical labor jobs... where coal miner jobs are being replaced with machines
and fracking becomes more mechanized.
Drones... As imagination hasn't even begun to scratch the surface.
Uber... Not just Taxi driver jobs, but the obviation of the second car.
Education... new models for computer learning, and the coming decline in public education as we knew it.
Renewable energy.... in all formats
Privacy... Where we are today, and where we may be tomorrow.
So, there's little to be do about any of these tech advances, and I suppose it's just a matter of accepting what's happening, but, looking over the past from today's vantage, cannot remember when life happened so fast, and to so many.
Just a little venting, and wondering if it's just old age, or is the world moving faster than ever?
