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.

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.

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.

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.
