I like that you build your arguments around basic human needs such as opportunity and hope. This is actually an awesome blueprint of how to develop a healthy mindset in our packed world and with this you can do much more then "just" place your kids or yourself in Dataanalysis, Cybersecurity or Genomics, you can do whatever you want and create value. Thanks for the awesome talk ✌

Spent yesterday reading through the entire book. He made some really compelling arguments based on his journeys all over the world. It was eye opening.

*Data Analytics* *Cyber Security* *Genomic* video starts @ 6:10, Great Info

One of the best speaker I have come across on youtube. He is a total realist.

Without a doubt, I see great validity and strength in Alec's experiences and his advice! Industrial reorganization and the New Economy have changed the very nature of education along with employer demands! Much of the social structures in place are still necessary but their promises for a better future have largely become obsolete more than ever. And we are entering a time where even college degrees are largely becoming obsolete (although necessary as employers demand them) and basic programming is becoming obsolete as well (w/ so many libraries of them and simplified editors). It definitely is where the most adaptable are the ones surviving and the jobs requiring such are the real ones being created!

Great job Alec!...especially your emphasis on inequality of opportunity.

Alec Ross, I could listen to you all day. In fact, I might.

This was an emotionally impactful and insightful talk. I didn't think that learning about how industries evolved would broaden my perspective a lot but this talk not only taught me but broadened me. I would recommend this talk.

Very authentic talk. Advice worth taking.

thank you for the advice.

it's not the strongest who survive or the most intelligent but that most adaptable to change

Best sector is in yourself only

Anybody watching age >18?

The reason why i love You tube

An inspiring talk and one that chimes totally with my personal experience. I have yet to make it to the White House and I wonder if he is still there but I can see that sort of path is possible. But, if he is still there then that is one job I can't have. Too many brilliant people for too few and rapidly reducing number of jobs. The possibly not too distant future may have roles for everyone, but these do not exist at the moment. While people are learning there is little or no support. When people get to 50 or older, learning new stuff is quite a task if they have not been keeping a learning cycle running as they aged. What to do ? Basic Income. This is essential if only as a sticking plaster. I hope that Basic Income will stick and stay, but it is a social 'Must-have' for everyone who no longer has or has yet to gain any employment. I have recently be teaching 5 year olds to code. That is a basic skill needed for the next generation, but, if everyone has it - it ceases to be a job ticket in just the way a university education is no longer a guarantee of work. Not having either though is a guarantee of never getting anything.

Excellent and highly recommended.🇦🇺

Honest, thank you.

Well said

you was like an angel sent was searching for the next industries to make my name in i just found them all three

What's with the sound levels?

answer is at 6:48

Practical words of wisdom, nice to hear. I also hear a touch of Ayn there.

The title should be "Figuring out your and your child's life."

Veeeery good video.

🔥🔥🔥!

Even at 2x speed, this kid is gleaner of much... I do agree with him on 2 things: do NOT count on "the system" and BE a lifelong learner --- Unfortunately, he is clueless that the real solutions to blight comes from a functional economic system. Corruption is the major disruption in any "system" --- kinda simple really.

Wow! Finally a talk worthy of TED's former prestigious reputation. I had to waste a lot of time listening "Woke" bs to finally get to a TEDTalk worthy of my time. Thank you. Edit: Just noticed that it's 5 years old so I guess that's why it lacks the Woke bs.

Basically, I think it is rather narrow-minded. We must consider the whole economy and the whole human society and the whole system. We must consider that this is a market economy, that mean, whatever we produce and how many we produce, it must have a market. It should be an equilibrium of supply and demand. You cannot simply think of more robots and less human labor. If more and more people are unemployed, the market will shrink as there will not have enough purchasing power. So, the equilibrium will lost. Furthermore, we must think of society as a vertical and not horizontal social structure. The people will never have equal employability due to their different DNA and their ability. Some of them may only fit for certain low skill jobs. Not all the new jobs created will be suitable for everyone as we are different. Somemore, if more and more skills can be taken over by computers, sooner or later, we will not be able to find professions like doctors or accountants, etc. But, human are basically biological, if everyone can read the internet and medicines are available online, then, doctors will be redundant. If more and more jobs are loss, less research will be done on human as to cure any illness will be unprofitable. So, slowly, when more robots take over more jobs, we will lose the meaning of existance and all sciences relating to human, like medicines, biology or even social sciences will lose its significance as the world will see more robots than human and robots do not need such science.

So where does someone in their 50s find employment if they have lost their job?

i feel like he gets it

Totally awesome and true❗️✌🏿️👏🏿👏🏿👏🏼👏🏼👏🏻👏🏻👏🏾👏🏾

呼麦是什么鬼？突然感觉自己回到了内蒙

Liked it, very Christian Bale-ish style

Guarantee success for jobs of the future: treating wrists and necks as all of today's tech-zombies will grow up to have massive damage to their wrists and necks due to their inability to look away from the portable devices which they hold in their claw-like hands.

This guy should run as the next Democratic candidate. His tone is perfect and he is talking about the country's future in the right way.

Watch the whole thing, how can you change the world if you don't know what's going on?

get some passion boy! fark

Of all the TED speakers i think this one is the most ironic......

If God himself ever made a speech on stage using relatively cheap tech..

His opening statements and his political micro speech about, “changing the system,” made his overall speech less interesting and mind-numbing.

Who would ever give this guy a job?

People are quickly becoming obsolete, especially Ted-Talkers.

Hillary Clinton cmon smarter than that for sure

Although the book was great, this talk wasn't a tenth of the quality.

what does this smart guy know about the ever increasing world killing debt.....the national debt ...the end of the world as we know it debt...the grid stopping debt...the taxpayer's debt...plus interest ? most tune out...glaze over...or say greed and go on living as if normalcy were a guaranteed gift...

cyber security is a saturated market lol

Just for reference $100k in DMV is broke just saying

This guys voice makes me want to sleep

This guy's hot

He keeps walking from right to left with no meaning

This guy is very deceitful. He is one of the foremost progressives and runs around the world facilitating the overthrow of acting governments through civil unrest. YAY! I was also one of the kids that he is talking about: straight out of Appalachia. The most interesting thing about his speech is that he contradicts himself. He talks about the poor unfortunates who just lack opportunity, then talks about utilizing the freedom we all have to choose to strive for our own opportunity. We all have a shot if we try, we do not all have success. You can not guarantee outcomes without holding someone back.
