2. —Charles Darwin
“It’s not the strongest of the
species that survive, nor the
most intelligent, but the one
most responsive to change.”
3. In the next 10 years, the day-to day nature of
work could change for nearly everyone as
intelligent machines become fixtures in the
workplace.
4. As computational power gets faster, so do
networks and sensors, synthetic biology, and
robotics - and the convergence of these is
what’s transforming business models.
—Peter Diamandis, Co-Founder and Chairman of Singularity University
5. At the same time, on average, we are all
living longer than our parents.
6. If you are 20 now, you have a
50% chance of living to more
than 100.
7. If you are 40, you have a 50% chance of
reaching 95.
8. Question:
If you live 100 years, save around 10% of
your income and want to retire at 50%
of your salary, at what age will you be
able to retire?
10. Living longer lives amid
accelerating change means that
adapting to changing jobs and
navigating multiple career
transitions will become the new
norm.
