@dcawrey Actually, I embrace flexible work conditions when they allow for greater productivity. Remote work, for example, can actually increase productivity by cutting down on employee fatigue from having to suffer through a long commute. It also cuts down on emissions and energy consumption used in such commutes.

It is the reality underscored by Uber's purchase of 24K Volvos to create a driveless fleet.    We have, though, somehow learn to adapt--I wish I had the answers--but at least here we're working to ask the questions and underscore the profound pitfalls.

The workforce of today is certainly in flux, but one thing I think younger generations have latched onto is flexibility.

The idea of an eight hour workday and an office cube with a desk, PC and a landline phone are going away. Sometimes, they aren't even needed at all. 

Scary, isn't it?

..Some "Food 4 thought":

This Chatbot is Trying Hard to Look and Feel Like Us




What it is: Autodesk's AVA chatbot is the ultimate customer service agent: empathetic, patient and unflappable under pressure. AVA, which stands for Autodesk Virtual Agent, was designed by New Zealand AI startup Soul Machines to have "emotions" and a virtual "nervous system" to listen to customers' voices and respond to queries with humanlike precision.

Why it's important: Customer service is notoriously difficult for even the most patient of humans. If artificial intelligence models can help humans feel understood and help resolve their most urgent requests with speed and accuracy, businesses all over the world would be able to serve their market in a highly scalable fashion
