beatingthefuture

A lot of members here on WattPad (and a lot of social media sites) are teenagers or young adults, who in probably less than ten years (maybe sooner, maybe later) will be joining the work force. It takes a simple search of 'the working world of the future' to understand just how different the working world will be five, ten, twenty years from now from the world we know and have always known. 

It is no mystery that modern technology, especially the internet and the phenomenon that is social media, have caused a revolution of unprecedented effects. This will be clearly reflected in the culture and the workforce of the future.

After doing thorough research of what to expect, I've discovered a lot of fascinating information. For example, I've learned that the work force of the future will be a much more creative one, repetitive jobs will be taken over by machines (most likely), which isn't necessarily negative seeing as the jobs left for us are the ones that require thinking, creativity and innovation. There will be jobs in the future that we cannot even imagine (for example: a rewilder, and even a garbage designer). Jobs will be given to those that stand out and are masters in one specific area but also hold a variety of skills. The working environment itself is already changing fervently. We will see a much more flexible work environment, with a need for strong communication skills. Employees will need to work together like never before. Repeatedly, through my research, I have read that communication and connections will be vital for a successful career.

And, that, is exactly the goal of this group. I am a strong believer that we all have something to learn from each other and that connections are absolutely vital in life. So, I've created this. This page is made for people willing to share their knowledge and willing to learn from others, people hoping to make connections for later on.
