A New world of work, what has changed in the world, and why should we bother? well there are many reasons for us to bother with the new world of work.
Is it going to be harder than before?
Is there any place to work?
Will it have any control?
Well there are multiple answers, but first I would like you to imagine, an old man holding an hammer, what do you think? is he working? and what about a girl in a factory near a machine which is doing everything alone, is she working? and even a business man on the beach talking with someone on the phone, is he talking to a client or just in vacations?
well after those questions, you can see that with knowledge workers, there is just no limit to where, and when they might work. So, why do managers insist we come in everyday from nine-to-five... living trough traffic jams, overcrowded public, transportation and worse.
BECAUSE WE USED TO DEPEND ON THINGS! machines, files, resources etc..
Now everything is digital! Digital communication and world wide web shrunk the world, with the internet there are new ways of colaborating. the humanity is increasing the complexity of things that will require more and better communication and colaboration.
For eg: the productivity is higher than ever, but so, If we keep going like this, people will be ending without a proper life! Working "24 hours" a day, 7 days a week, with no vacations, WITH NO LIFE! who is the superman or the superwoman who can live like this?
We need to re-think the way we work, the places we work, how and when we work, and the tools we use.
the avarage work week, (31% of higher educated americans is working more than 50 hours a week).
I've chosen this topic cause working is our way of survival so if we dont work we can't survive and it's getting harder and harder to get a job nowadays, something have to change or we are in a deep trouble.
