What's scarier than robots taking our jobs? that the 2nd most aspired to job (after doctor) among 11-16 year olds is. social media influencer. Irony of posting this on twitter is not lost on me. but let's inspire kids to aim big and high! #futureofwork

wow. These jobs require the skills and qualities that make us human. empathy. ability to listen. gentleness. strength. using #technology to reduce challenges of tough jobs like caregiving and enable us to use our human capabilities will make #futureofwork better for all.
.@aijenpoo brings a remarkable statistic to #SkollWF: By 2030, if you take child care and elder care jobs combined, it’ll be the largest combined workforce in the U.S., adding "We have got to make these jobs good jobs."

key point about geographic inequality by @mastergruber w/ @mitsloanexperts livestream NOW. Simon Johnson's idea of a competition for joint public investment to drive innovation hubs in new regions is intriguing and promising. #mitsloanexperts.

Thanks for the shoutout @indexaward. My quote is from two years ago and I believe it more than ever today! tech (with a little t!) as a tool for humans. #techforall.
"We need to build technology that meets our needs as people, rather than building technologies simply because we can." -- @DevSpoke, Executive Producer of the Inclusive Innovation Challenge (IIC). #indexaward2019 #meetthejury

So much talk of smart cities. let’s start talking about smart towns and smart villages. As #remotework (like mine) becomes more common, people will move where they can afford quality of life. City folk, check out home prices in my zip code and weep. then move here! #maine.

Calling all Inclusive Entrepreneurs: THIS CHART IS IMPORTANT! focus your innovative energy on BIG challenges like these and make a BIG difference in the lives of millions. @MIT_IIC #futureofwork #techforall.
We need more startups trying to solve the top half of this graph. It's incredibly difficult to get a toe hold there, but when you do it's an outrageously large opportunity.

Don't usually read academic papers? This one is worth your time! Practical and radical new approach to measuring our digital economy. Turns out the "free" music, "free" news, and "free" social media are all worth something to us humans. 😉 #digitaleconomy #2MA.
Here's our new paper defining and explaining GDP-B. It's designed to account for the value of new and free goods which are otherwise missed by conventional GDP. with @avi_collis, @eggers_felix, @KevinElZorro and Erwin Diewert.
