How do you know what will happen to your career in the future

And what of the future? We will continue to work as usual

Not so simple. We are not saying that all classes of people will take the robots, though such forecasts are more output from the first "Terminator". But there is absolutely real trends that change the specialty here and now.

For example, the librarian profession has long predicted the disappearance, yet it still exists. But in the past from a specialist organization required and the ability to stop the chatter only one eye. Now - to work with the electronic archives, cataloging various digital formats, maintain databases. It turns out that the profession remains, but its content has changed.

These changes are taking place in all spheres - new devices and programs, increasing amounts of information, there are different ways of communication. To not engage in activities that would be irrelevant, it is necessary to understand these trends.

How is it that there are people with unnecessary occupations?

It used to be clear - when gas lights were gone, disappeared, and the profession of a lamplighter to refuel them. In today's job market more and more difficult, and there are several reasons.

• The world reshapes digital transformation. All business processes and analytics goes online, the Internet of Things develops. For example, without a fitness instructor easier to manage when there are sports watches, which are based on the information of the body will make a perfect workout for you, and then give a report on it.
• Going business automation. Routine and mechanical action are replaced by algorithms and devices. For example, many supermarkets have already switched to self-checkout, where instead of seven people only need one, if necessary, help customers. In the future, will replace terminals for telephony applications.
• Education does not keep pace with the technology. Universities are not adapted to the market demand and supply of experts without the necessary skills. For example, in all professions is increasing the importance of communication and digital skills, but few university programs teach students to fully soft and digital skills.

Even when trade does not disappear completely, they are changing under the influence of progress. Fitness instructor should be able to advise the digital tracker for different purposes and to help interpret the results, and the cashier - to grow into a multi-tasking trade manager.

Okay. And how to understand what will be irrelevant?

The same type of tedious steps to perform where you can write an algorithm or design a mechanism. This definition fits a lot of professions: the operators of warehouses, stores sellers, transport drivers, for document management professionals. And not only.

Consulting company McKinsey studied Technology, jobs, and the future of work 2000 majors in 46 countries and found that in 60% of professions third function can be automated. The list includes not only the expected assembly line operators, but also the landscape designers, dentists, designers, and even top managers.

It may seem that the introduction of technologies so expensive that not all companies can afford it. But, on the other hand, it can reduce labor costs and eliminate the risk of error due to human factor. Even with the current pace of progress automation will affect Technology, jobs, and the future of work 50% of the world economy.

Process optimization does not only affect business but also public services. In Russia, actively developing the digital exchange of information among agencies and electronic services. Now, for example, through state services portal, you can quickly obtain a passport, record of the child in kindergarten or school, to pay a fine.

Thing of the past, when it was necessary to go over the document on the other side of town or sit in line at the clinic. We work with state services portal for 9 years and came to the conclusion that now 90 million Russians may solve many of life's questions Online: register a vehicle, make a doctor to order a certificate, apply to the registrar and to pay the legal costs of discount.

It is likely that very soon without leaving your home you can get credits, to vote in elections or issue in your own apartment.
