Future Trends in social media

Future Trends

With today’s technology, roughly half of the tasks that people do can be automated. That’s a staggering figure. But just as interesting, and maybe even more important, is that only 5% of jobs can be entirely automated. What it means is that, increasingly, all jobs are going to be affected.

The way we work is going to shift over time as machines and machine learning and artificial intelligence start to take over some pieces of what we do. That will require people to adapt and change. And jobs, occupations as we know them today, will shift. No longer do bank tellers hand out cash to customers, because there are automated teller machines.
