Remember when…

…people used to send emails?

…we carried phones around in our pockets?

…people asked phones and computers for advice instead of other people?

…colleges were places you went to get an education?

…people had to prove what they knew to get a job?

…we organized work around jobs instead of problems?

…companies hired people to do things machines couldn’t?

…we spent more time searching for information than thinking about what it meant?

…people needed permission to make decisions?

…we assumed experience came with age?

…we thought intelligence was something that made humans special?

…we believed being productive meant being busy?

…we worried about what AI would do to us, rather than what we might become?

The future has a way of making today’s assumptions look strange.
