Work is the foundation of modern society, we value and care, dream, and of course all our concerns are based on work. It will collapse without work. Looking around, work in every part of the world changes quickly and quickly. A typical example is the recently implemented GDPR regulation.
Regulation and development technology is forced to mature industries to suffer at most an existential shock. More and more different skills, attitudes and expectations are necessary for work.
To study the change of work, Cognizant founded the future work center to provide unique research and analysis of work trends. This team will work with a variety of business and technology thinkers and scholars to discuss how future aspects of work and life will change with future technologies.
The first one is future research. We can not predict the future, but we need to imagine and try to achieve the anticipated future. This is what the future laboratory is talking about. One project of the United Nations sustainable development goal is quality education, which is the direction we are working on. Arnold shared his experience in educational redesign in Singapore. In addition, he is talking about artificial intelligence. AI is used as a large-scale expert system (oil drilling, molecular biology, etc.). The designer decomposes the activities of experts using ethnographic research and creates a computational model of such behaviors. It is now used as an embedding mechanism to infiltrate our daily lives
On the other hand, cooperation with the future is more speculative, as we deal with possibilities rather than facts. Ironically, the imagination of the future far exceeds the past. When writing articles about the future, you are always limited by today's ideas, ideology, and social structure. It is difficult to imagine a completely different future from the present. On the contrary, when writing the past, you realize that our current thinking, ideology, and social structure are neither natural nor eternal, and reality is stranger than any SF novel.
Please begin reading more novels, especially science fiction. A new story can help us imagine many future, especially to help bring our imagination to the future we want. Imagining a specific future is not just a fantasy but an important and positive framework that makes it possible to build a vision close to the vision of imagination. Talk of the people you know and make the world a better place. It focuses on opportunities and solutions, not problems or threats. Do not forget that optimism is not necessarily a response to the world around us but it can also be a tool for us to influence the surrounding world around us. If we believe we can create a cleaner, more fair, better world, we will get a better chance to realize it someday.
