Another automated food service. I like these as part of a clearly emerging trend. But I also like them because they are great examples to use for practice thinking about implications!!!

To the camera and photo equipment industry, the rise of smartphone photography has had devastating effects.
James Schreier's insight:
This is part of an recurring "paradigm shift" story noted in several posts here -- connected to how the music industry changed in part because of the iPod, iPhone, etc.

Small business expert Jim Blasingame observes that for generations, corporate culture contributed to organizational productivity and sustained success. Has that once-immutable concept become just another victim of the pandemic?
James Schreier's insight:
Recognizing the implications as Jim does here is not surprising. Joel Barker was a guest on Jim's radio show hundreds of times. I was a guest multiple times. Very wise man.

Every year, the Gallup Organization produces a global report on the state of the workforce. Their sample size is impressive; Gallup analyzed 112,312 business units in 96 countries worldwide. The Alert covers the six major developments outlined in Gallup's Executive Summary.

The idea of artificial intelligence overthrowing humankind has been talked about for decades, and in 2021, scientists delivered their verdict on whether we'd be able to control a high-level computer super-intelligence.
James Schreier's insight:
Explore the implications now -- monitor the issue closely. A topic that clearly screams for the Implications Wheel and T.I.P.S. Tracking.

The concept is so complex that scientists still argue whether it exists or if it is an illusion.

The federal government released a set of tools to help cities, businesses, and residents understand the risks from climate change and plan for the future.

Differences between the early ‘00s smartphone explosion and slow EV transition illuminate policy failures and inherent differences between the technologies.
James Schreier's insight:
Seems like an easy answer when the major factor, price is identified. But there are other factors that need to be considered. Is there a fear of the unknown? The unfamiliarity with a different process? Could EV manufacturers do something different?

Starting Jan. 1, businesses with offices in New York City must be assured that biases do not appear in their AI tools. And this law could be coming to a city or state near you.
James Schreier's insight:
This is extremely interesting -- and important -- especially given the growth of AI and its applications -- and its implications. I'm posting this here and to two other "topics" because of its significance. One, it's an issue that should be explored with the "Implications Wheel." Two, the audit process specifically called for looking for "unintended" biases. There's also an interesting connection to the reports on the success of McDonald's new AI driven hiring process (posted separately here).

Career advice as a genre is almost fatally flawed. With 160 million American workers across thousands of occupations in hundreds of industries, saying anything that is of use to all of them is practically impossible. The most common counsel is almost always too personal to be broadly applicable.
James Schreier's insight:
Glad to see the first words of this article reflect those of my biggest 'career' mentor: Bill Needler frequently stated: "50% of career advice is wrong; the problem is we don't know which 50%." This is a good article!

Teens coming of age in the pandemic era are shunning college in record numbers. Many aren't working, either. The future looks rough.
James Schreier's insight:
There are some other articles posted here that are related to this topic: declining college enrollment, etc. Have already used this topic as part of an Implications Wheel training program -- clearly makes it a topic that needs to be monitored.

While remote monitoring generally is legal, heavy surveillance could damage morale, other reports have said.

That disconnect, which Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella called “productivity paranoia,” can result in intense virtual tracking, which had typically existed for lower-wage roles like those in grocery stores or fast-food restaurants, seeping into the world of desk jobs.

Every so often, I ask my daughter about the future. When she was three, she had only a basic concept of time, with little awareness of clocks or calendars. She could understand The Very Hungry Caterpillar, a classic children’s book about a creature gorging on food over a week, but when she would tell the…
