RE: The impact of technology on the labor market.

Greetings, @puffosiffredi,

Thank you for an interesting and informative article.

An aside comment: Although your English is not perfect, it is far better than my Italian, and I am happy to hear what you have to say. You have made your topic completely understandable and useful to me, Thank You.

After working in technology for most of my life, I see much truth in your post. I have been "laid off" many times as companies either closed or were bought by bigger or more diverse companies. I have had to "re-invent" myself many times, always learning new skills and adding to my skill set. The end result (for me) has been inventing and creating my own products for the market.

I feel absolutely no sorrow at the loss of the middle manager; speaking from the perspective of a creative, and remembering back to the years spent working for many different managers, all too many were more trouble than they were worth.

    HI Creatr: about language. Actually English is the 3rd language , because when I was young we used to study more French than English. So English was my 3rd language.... I always apologize for that. Even if it is better than your italian, still I find "polite" to apologize.

    I've some colleague following the Industry 4.0 issue in Germany, (as you know, it is a standard published by their ministry of industry). I would say, being a "creative" will be a win, until you are able to make things with your hands. In the other side, this will create a ton of disruption too.

    I'm not sure people will like it, too. People wants change, but they don't want to change. To me this sounds like an amazing future, but I'm sure people will find a way to miss their turn...

    Well, my friend, your English is also much better than my French, but I do agree that it is always good to be polite. :)

    I am a student of languages, a native English speaker, but I can "get by" in Spanish, and I can read some Greek, and have "sampled" Hebrew.

    Yes, change is disruptive, but also exciting. I greatly enjoy learning, and I love seeing new developments. Here's to an amazing future, I wish you well!
