Farrell | March 29, 2013 | ? Is this an argument for ZERO MAIL ?? | Dmitri Gunn works at MIT’s Media Lab, one of the most hyperconnected places on Earth. But when it comes to the one ubiquitous form of communication of the digital era, Gunn is unplugging.

Rapid advances in technology have long represented a serious potential threat to many jobs ordinarily performed by people. A recent report from the Oxford Martin School’s Programme on the Impacts of Future Technology attempts to quantify the size of that threat. It concludes that 45 percent of American jobs are at high risk of being taken by computers within the next two decades. PROJECTCONSULT Fri, 13 Sep 2013 12:00:38 GMT
