The coming "Teleshock"

Post by funkervogt »

Economist Tyler Cowen predicts that greater use of telework will expose most American jobs having to do with computer coding and IT to cheaper foreign competition. Many formerly secure and well-paying jobs will vanish. Conversely, some types of culture-specific and location-dependent jobs will remain secure.

A future wave of disruption will involve foreign workers using FIVR pods to pilot robots located in distant parts of the world. Even manual labor jobs won't be safe from "tele-outsourcing."

I don't think the white collar workers will be ready for that.
