My vision and prediction for the future is the industrial revolution 3.0.
In this new world, the benefits technology bring are astounding.
A Gigabit Economy
The gigabit revolution with change business forever. Technology will rule.
Projects like Hashgraph. Services that use blockchain to distribute information. Open-source projects and smart contracts will all be at the centre of this new world.
Often referred to as the ‘gig economy’. That is the freelance worker, subcontractor, and self-employed business owner economy.
This will be the way most people will be earning a living online in this ‘bright’ future.
Individuals in this world will use low-cost technology to compete with large corporations. They may even compete with the boss.
Yes really! Instead of working for the company. They will sell their talent directly online through open-source projects that allow for this type of distribution. They will earn more than at their old day jobs and for less of their time.
These old companies of the past with huge overheads may well be relics in this amazing new future.
They will watch as their workers leave to create start-ups that compete with them. Each past employee takes tiny bits of their market share. Causing their eventual death by the proverbial “thousand cuts”.
Opportunity in a New World
This is a great opportunity for budding entrepreneurs. Especially if you’re still in school or have a job.
While apps like Uber, Uber-eats, Deliveroo and the like, though still termed ‘gig’ workers. This type of gig work should never be a long-term affair. This is because you are at the mercy of the app. Owned by someone else’s who you don’t control. (one of the 4 must-haves in business)
While my idea of a ‘gig worker’ is vastly different.
As this type of work increases. Every day workers will be open to this global talent pool. Some of these jobs will compete with workers in 3 world counties.
This will have implications for some who work in specific sectors. They will be opened up to workers who are willing to work for less. This is going to be a fact.
We should embrace it and not compete with these masses. Find a nook and work hard at that.
While there are going to be negatives, there will be so many more positives.
Change is Happening Now
Watch for the future when the world becomes a global marketplace as we all trade peer-to-peer.
Nothing fundamental will change. Humans will still have their wants and needs.
The difference will be in the way they access those needs. This will be through technology. New web 3.0 type cheap and efficient digital tools.
To stand out in this world, you will need to develop your own ideas and bring something new to the table. YOU! You are unique in this world.
Get noticed for the unique person you are and for that special talent, you bring to the world.
