Technological Evolution

 Hi,

Today I am going to be discussing my thoughts on the ideas that are addressed in this week's videos about technological evolution. 

Firstly I will talk about how the recent Covid-19 pandemic has affected everyone and has disputed every sector of our economies. The increased automation of work mixed with the global recession has led many workers to lose their jobs and this trend is expected to continue according to the 'What will the future of jobs be like?' video. There is a big ongoing shift in the division of labor between humans, machines, and algorithms this might displace 85 million jobs worldwide in the next 5 years. This is also a good thing because as it states in the video that 97 million new roles that are adapted to the distribution of the new tasks might emerge.

By 2025, organizations say they will train over 70% of their employees to ensure that they can smoothly transition into the 'Jobs of tomorrow' as stated in the video this includes: 

1. DevOps Engineers.

2. Artificial Intelligence Specialists.

3. Digital Marketing managers.

4. Talent acquisition specialists.

5. Customer success specialists.

It will take a lot of effort and time from both employers and employees to allow people to be trained up properly so that the move into the new roles is a smooth as possible. This transition could take on average anywhere between 2 weeks and 5 months for workers to pick up new skills that allow them to move into these new roles.

I agree with the statement in the video that 'with purposeful leadership and collaboration, we can turn this global crisis into a unique opportunity to transition into a future of jobs that is inclusive, fair, and sustainable.' The reason I agree with this statement is that due to many working from home nowadays a lot of people have to be thought a bit more/ a lot about technology to be able to continue working during this pandemic to continue to receive income. This benefits everyone because people are beginning to learn new skills that can be used in many ways not just work and it also benefits the company and consumers due to the faster pace that work is being done and the amount of work being done, consumers will be happy and will become loyal due to the good standards of service which in return will benefit the company.

 Hi, In this blog, I am going to talk about how digital media companies found that there is a big lacking in helping other users to understand the online environment. From reading this article ‘Digital Media Companies Found Lacking in Helping Users Understand the Online Environment’. According to Kirk (20202), a digital news report highlights that 62% of people surveyed had ongoing worries over miscommunication and misinformation online.  I found the above statement to be the most interesting statement for me because I feel that even though surveys state that 62% of people that were surveyed had ongoing worries that all stem from miscommunication and misinformation online, many people are very reliant on the online environment and believe that what they see is true. For example, many teenagers are very involved in social media and with the lives of influencers and they believe that how the influencers have portrayed themselves online is how everyone’s lives should be or how ev...

Another Revision

  Hi, This week we were given feedback from our peers and using the given feedback we were asked to re-write our original pieces but to apply the feedback to our work so that hopefully our work will improve and we can learn from our mistakes for future assignments. Overall this week the feedback that I received from three people was very positive and had very little improvement to do for this week's task. I enjoyed hearing what I had done that was good in my blogs and I feel it also keeps me motivated to continue to write because I know that although there are things that I could improve on I also know that there are strong parts in my blog. My positive feedback included things such as: Good Grammar and Punctuation. That the blog was based on my opinions and backed up with facts. It was easy to follow due to the structure and layout. Good flow to the blog due to going from one topic to the next. Was straight to the point. I was very happy with this feedback and will do my best to m...

Digital Media

  Hi, In this blog, I am going to discuss my thoughts on the ideas that were mentioned in each of the videos I have watched. Firstly, I am going to talk about my thoughts on the very first video ‘Digital Media Are Networked’.          I fully agree with the ideas that were mentioned yes Media today has greatly improved and has many benefits such as being able to connect with others with similar interests from everywhere, being able to receive news quicker rather than waiting to read the newspaper the next day, etc. and it also helps people with work/education to access information for study/work, etc.  Although there are many advantages to it there are also some disadvantages, for example, people may use it for school/work but one of the main implications people face while doing this is that not all sources are reliable sources and could cause you to believe/rely on incorrect information. I will now express my thoughts on video number two ‘Digital Lite...
