Are you preparing your skill set for the 4th Industrial Revolution

What skill sets would you say would be relevant in the near future with all the advances in technology? 🤔

I was reading an interesting forecast about industry age, manufacturing is dying off, but design work can’t be automated and along with the digital age, everything is all about design these days and the trends seem to change a lot faster compared to years ago, as always being passionate about visual arts and design, going back to get my graphic design diploma and sacrificing full time work in warehousing was the smartest move I made for my future.

@SW-User Wow now that is an interesting angle to this whole industrial revolution thing...

I guess my previous Graphic and Web Design skills might come in handy.

@SW-User There are still many countries who need Engineers.. my country, South Africa, included.

We actually have an Engineer skill shortage over here.

@Teggy for some time, they had to. I've seen some of the old punched tape/card operated machines they used in the 50's and 60's. The paper spools to run operations took up more space than the machines themselves...

@wildbill83 lol I ran a punch tape machine long ago doing dowels when I started

I don't even want to think about what kind of headache it was to make/program the tapes themselves... and everything had to be proof read manually...

a single typo/mis punched tape and whoops... you just crashed the headstock of your multi million dollar machine... 😖

Breaking robots for a fee.

@Dan193 🤣 I was thinking along the lines of Robot Maintenance, but breaking them will work too 😅

@iMystery There will be a war. And people will want them out of their neighbourhoods. 👨‍🌾
Or manual labour businesses that want their robot based competitors out of the city.

iMystery · M

@Dan193 That is a very real risk of what may actually happen.

wildbill83 · 36-40, M

well... I was trained to kill people, so killing off the mindless zombies that are overpopulating the world should be fairly easy in the coming years... 🤔

iMystery · M

@InOtterWords 🤣 So that would make you an Anti-Troll Engineer?
