Upon watching the video 'Future of Work', I feel as though it makes very valid points and gives detailed information on what the future holds. Although it gives in depth outlooks on future jobs and work, I can't help but disagree with a few concepts within the video. One of the main things mentioned that really stuck out to me was the fact given that the majority of people already work from home and that those numbers will rise in the near future. Personally, I disagree with that fact and can't image that the majority of people in the US are working from home, I don't see how that would be possible with current society. While I have no supporting facts or evidence on how or why I disagree, I feel that from a civilian point of view that information is misleading. Another piece of information that I took notice to was the fact that those annoying password, "We're making sure you're not a robot" things have a name and are known as reCAPTCHA. I had no clue what they were for or why we need them but obviously they are serving a purpose, and I had no idea how much work went into them. The last bit of information I found to disagree with was the fact that the world is "flat" and that trend will continue. To me, that information meant that because of the growing technologies and uniformity of society using them society and the world is now flat, or the same. My interpretation of that information may be completely wrong, but I believe that technology is extremely complex and even if everyone is using it it's still just as complex.
As of right now I don't feel completely prepared for the future of work as it was portrayed. My high school and previous college classes haven't done anything hands on with me to prepare me. I have been exposed to technology in class, but never how I will cope with it in my future career. If my future work will be described as "flat" and if I find myself sitting at home rather than out in society doing something for someone then I'm not exactly looking forward to it. I believe in work or careers you should use technology to help perform your job better, not let it take you away from it and others.
