30. Next Outsourced Job: Fast Food Order Taker
McDonald's has begun outsourcing drive-through
orders in 40 of its restaurants, using 125 workers at a
call center in California and submitting orders back
over the Internet.
The process saves "seconds" on each order. Workers
make $6.75 an hour, get no health benefits and handle
up to 95 orders an hour in a job that sounds like a
workplace massacre in the making:
One of the dire predictions of the Lou Dobbs crowd
is that Americans will be pushed into low paying
service jobs because all of our white-collar work is
being sent overseas. But McDonald's could just as
easily take those orders from Bangalore, where by
one estimate a college-educated call center employee
earns $2.40 an hour.

necessary and Hancock Prospecting was already
"clearly on the record saying we need to bring in cheap
overseas labour".
Fitzgerald also said debate over overseas labour in the
mining industry was a hot topic because most people
knew personally of jobseekers that had attempted to
work in the sector.
Fairfax Media reports Fitzgerald said overseas investors
in the Roy Hill mine had marked the skills shortage as a
key liability and using foreign workers was a necessary
"de-risking" strategy.

41. WHAT DOES THE CURRENT
RESEARCH SAY?
• ablete mobile computing is still fairly new in education however the
recently released Horizon Report 2012 – K-12 Edition lists Tablet
Computing as a ‘technology to watch’ in education and predicts an
adoption horizon of one year or less. The report states “Recent
research indicates that tablets, because they are designed to
easily share their screens, foster key 21st Century Skills in
students, including creativity, innovation, communication, and
collaboration.”
Interestingly, tablet computing provides opportunities for teachers and
students to explore the 6 key trends identified in the Horizon
Report which are:

42. benefits of the internet to extend learning opportunities for
students.
• The abundant availability of information and resources is challenging
educators to help students develop skills for making sense of
information and encourage them to question credibility and
accuracy.
• The increasing use of students’ personal devices in the classroom.
The ubiquitous nature of technology means that many students
already have their own devices and enabling the use of these
devices in schools could mean that technology budgets can be
focused in other areas.
• Making use of the growing number of school-age children who live in
a state of ‘constant connection’ with others which opens the door to
‘just-in-time’ learning and ‘discovered’ learning.
• The critical need for technology skills as a life skill is increasingly seen
as a factor of education. Supporting trends such as evolving
occupations, multiple careers and a mobile workforce, education
can provide an opportunity to learn technology skills and better
prepare students for the future.
• A new emphasis on challenge-based learning is fostering more active
learning experiences. Technologies such as tablets are helping
educators leverage connections to real-life experiences and

55. troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the
ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of
rules... You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify
or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore
them because they change things... they push the human
race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy
ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy
enough to think that they can change the world, are the
ones who do.
