This is Gerd Leonard’s recent film about how the future works, covering the spheres of work, jobs and education.

THE FUTURE.

Are you excited, or are you worried?

The next 20 years will bring more change than the previous 300.

Technology is rebooting the very idea of work: how we work, when we work, where we work, and sooner or later, why we work?

Computers are vastly becoming more intelligent than humans.

They’re watching, they’re listening, they’re speaking, they’re learning… and they may even be thinking! Science fiction is becoming science fact, and the End of Routine is only one of the outcomes.

How much of your work is routine?

Rest assured, anything that can be automated, digitized or virtualized… will be.

This is as certain as music is in the cloud, cars are driving themselves, and money is going digital.
