I found the following video and description in Perot Charts.com. I hope you find it as provocative and fascinating as I did. 

Living in Exponential Times
Posted on February 5th, 2009 in Education, Employment, Population by PerotCharts
At PerotCharts.com we encounter interesting facts and statistics that don’t readily lend themselves to a chart presentation, usually because they do not consist of a series of data but rather just a single, discrete value. However, when a collection of factoids is skillfully assembled and dynamically presented, an interesting (possibly disturbing) scenario can emerge. The YouTube presentation below was recently brought to our attention, and we believe it is worth your time (4:46) to watch it. Great job by Karl Fisch, Scott McLeod, and Jeff Bronman of researching the progression of information technology and its effect on education and jobs in the future.

Consider playing this for your next planning meeting or family gathering. And then…

after a minute or two of reflection….

Ask people what they think they will need to learn, soon, in order to thrive in this changing world. 

Ask them where they think the biggest needs will be…

and, consequently, where the biggest opportunities to serve and profit will be. 

Now is an excellent time to re-think what you thought you knew. 

Call if I can help.
