Technology and the internet are changing at an exponential pace. You can either approach the future with eyes wide open and a plan for how to adapt, or you can stick your head in the stand and be passed by ... or run over.
This week, we discuss an article with a clear-eyed, sobering view of what work will be like in future -- and the ironic truth it lays bare about how to prepare for a career with this future hurtling toward us like a freight train.
We also discuss an article that reminds us not everything is changing. Preventing professional obsolescence may be changing drastically, but preventing health issues isn't -- because a few simple fundamentals of prevention remain constant.
