This means meeting people where they are at, engaging with them over social media or other more preferable platforms (Susskind 2015, pg 106). Imagine being able to instant message your doctor. Future professionals will need to be able to take advantage of the increase and availability of data to come to insights. This involves both the collection and analyzing of data. ([View Highlight](https://instapaper.com/read/1368525389/14828341)) - Future roles in the book [[Book/The Future of the Professions: How Technology Will Transform the Work of Human Experts]] - > Craftspeople - people who “craft” stuff that require a difficult skill set, such that they can’t be easily replaced by para-professionals or crowd sourced. Assistants - people who aren’t experts but help out the above mentioned craftspeople (e.g. associates in law firms). Para-professionals - will take over the spot of experts with the help of ever increasingly competent systems and tools. Empathizers - people with extremely good people skills, which will always be important because we have a sociality that is ingrained in our evolutionary biology. Machines will fill the gap, but people who can afford the help of other people will prefer doing so. R&D Workers - research and development will always be desired for the creation of new technology that can allow for a greater reach of solutions or make them more effective. Knowledge Engineers - people who will be designing systems that draw on the sources of existing expertise to disseminate knowledge to the wider public and para-professionals. Early examples may be wikipedia or thoughtCo. Process Analysts - will be the ones deconstructing the work of experts to create the systems and tools used by the above mentioned para-professionals. Moderators - people with deep insight who will help guide the centralization of expertise knowledge either from the masses or a pool of experts. Essentially making sure the quality of “the body of knowledge” stays high. Designers - People who think up and design the various systems described above. If a service or system isn’t well made then people aren’t going to want to use it. You see this with the high salary and importance of UX designers. System Providers - people who are actually providing the systems that the knowledge base is built on, whether it be a foundation (e.g. Wikipedia) or a private company (e.g. Quora). Data Scientists - pretty straight forward field. People who are able to work with big data and come to insights. Two of my data related products are pudding.cool and quid. Systems Engineers - are the people creating our dumb machine helpers (AI, Big Data Systems, etc) or AI overlords -
