Throwforward Thursday 65: The end of rush hour traffic

Graeme Codrington"s Future of Work ·

2022/08/11

Why do we still have rush hour traffic - with EVERYONE trying to get to work and school at the SAME TIME every working day? It's 2022 and we know about flexible working, and public transport and even the potential for AI-managed traffic systems (via traffic apps or driverless cars). This is not so much a prediction as a hope and plea that we rid the world of the curse of rush hour traffic as soon as possible.

Graeme Codrington"s Future of Work ·

2022/08/05

One of the dumbest things we do in business is force people to retire, simply because they hit a specific date in the calendar, even though they might be excellent contributors and still want to continue working. As individuals, most of us already know we can't afford to retire in our sixties (especially if we are going to live much longer than previous generations). And many of us would rather save to give ourselves flexibility and dignity, rather than merely to be able to afford to stop working.

2022/08/01

The fourth (of eight) conversations with Carel Nolte about the future of investing where we talk about alternative investment options, asset classes for the future, and how we can get children interested in investing. As always, we also talk about wine, and this time chat about an interesting blend made by an interesting wine maker, Erika Obermeyer. If you're not a fan of the wine conversation, skip a few minutes to the end to hear Carel talk about getting future generations involved in future

Graeme Codrington"s Future of Work ·

2022/07/28

Imagine a world in which we don't eat meat from animals. No, not a world with no meat, but a rather a world where our meat is grown in labs, rather than on animals. And no, not fake or artificial meat (from soya or plants), but rather meat grown from animal stem cells, indistinguishable from "real meat". In fact, it IS real meat. If we can do this, and ensure that it is healthy, economically viable, sustainable and ethical, the question is: would people eat it. I think they will. And I think it's

In this mini-series, my mate, Carel Nolte and I talk about the future of investment, the importance of wealth creation and I get to dig into some of Carel's insights from his work at Easy Equities (a South African investment platform that you can check out here: https://bit.ly/3Pdd2qN - no obligations, but full disclosure: I earn about $2.50 if you activate an account after you've had a look). We also talk about wine, because Carel and I never talk seriously about anything without wine... This is

Throwforward Thursday 62: The end of phobias

Graeme Codrington"s Future of Work ·

2022/07/21

We are all afraid of something, whether it is snakes, spiders, sharks, the dark, heights or something else. Could technology provide solutions by helping to train our brains to respond in different and less fearful ways? The answer, of course, is YES, and it is already happening. Check out: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jul/13/no-fear-the-new-zealand-virtual-reality-app-helping-conquer-phobias If you have any questions for our team about the future, or have an idea we can use in our

Graeme Codrington"s Future of Work ·

2022/07/18

This is the second conversation with my mate, Carel Nolte, where we talk about the future of investing, specifically about the ways in which we can build intergenerational wealth. The so-called "American Dream" from a century ago was that if you worked hard, your children could live a better life than you did. This dream should be the mantra in Africa for the next few decades, and it involves thinking differently about what we do with our money, the land, employment and investments. There are no

Throwforward Thursday 61: The end of... diamonds

Graeme Codrington"s Future of Work ·

2022/07/14

There are a lot of diamonds in the world - a total of about 6 billion carats (weighing around a million kilograms), with around 140 million carats mined every year. But known reserves will run out within a decade or so. That won't be the end of diamonds, though. We can now make diamonds in labs. Not "fake" diamonds - we can make real diamonds. But do we want to? Do you care, if you don't know the difference? Either way, we are facing the end of our current relationship with diamonds in the very near

So here it is: the first of my series of conversations with Carel Nolte. We are long-time friends who often get together to talk about life, the universe and everything - almost always with a bottle of wine. We decided to record our conversation about the future of investing, so you could listen in. I am doing research for a new book, and Carel brings his years of experience at Easy Equities to the discussion. The result is 8 conversations, each about 8 minutes long, with 8 bottles of

One day late, but that's because I spent yesterday with my good mate, Carel Nolte, talking about the future of investing and what he has learnt from his work at Easy Equities - an innovative investing platform based in South Africa. This is a quick introduction to a new series of 8 videos of Carel and I talking about the future of investing. Over the next 8 weeks, I hope you enjoy listening in to our discussions.

2022/07/06

Here is a quick bonus episode of the Future of Work podcast, sharing an insight I discovered in a report from O/Slash. There's a hidden and surprising reason young people don't want to come back to the office: they waste a lot of time being tech support for older colleagues. Here's how to fix that, and build a better team culture. Report available: https://www.oslash.com/google-it-first

2022/06/30

Sometime in the 2030s, artificial intelligence-driven algorithms will prove to be better at picking stocks and managing investment funds than human beings - removing emotion, trading faster with more information, and course-correcting better than we can. We didn't think computers would beat us at Chess or Go - we were wrong. "Playing the market" might very well be something left to smart machines, as we see the end of... investment brokers and fund managers.

In fact, this would be the end of EVERYTHING. There's an insect apocalypse happening at the moment. All around the world, studies are seeing alarming decreases in insect populations. The world as we know cannot survive without insects, so we need to take this seriously. Here is some reading and links to important research studies: https://www.scotsman.com/news/environment/insect-numbers-almost-halved-by-agriculture-and-climate-change-3661659

A few days late this week, Throwforward Thursday jumps to the year 2050, where we might have no more cocoa trees in the world. And that would mean the end of chocolate as we know and make it today. There are things that can be done to ensure this doesn't happen - let's make sure we do them. We don't want to live in a world without chocolate, do we?

This week we start a new series about things that are going to end in our lifetimes, and how that will impact the world we live and work in. No, it's not going to be doom and gloom - some of these things can be replaced, and some we can do without anyway. But our focus is actually going to be on how to prepare for deep structural and disruptive change, with foresight, innovation and adaptability.

Throwforward Thursday 56: Xenobots - Living Robots

Graeme Codrington"s Future of Work ·

2022/06/02

Made from the stem cells of the African Claw Frog, xenobots were created at the University of Vermont in 2020. They're tiny organisms that have been DNA programmed to do specific tasks. By the 2040s we should be able to program xenobots to do very useful, very specific tasks for us, from collecting radioactive materials to breaking down plastic pollution. They could even be used in our own bodies to destroy cancer cells or clean cholesterol plaque from our arteries.

Some jobs in the future will require special skills, restricted to those people who have agreed to augment their human skills with additional functionality of robotics. This could be anything from exoskeletons that increase strength and endurance to bionic senses and even enhanced mental processing skills. Cyborgs - human/machine hybrids - are coming.

2022/05/19

Right now we are advancing our ability to fix problems with ears and eyes and replace broken parts to give sight and sound to people. In the near future, we will be able to go a step further and both bypass the eyes and ears sending signals directly to the brain, and also enhance the eyes and ears with bionic capabilities. Medical advances in the next decade or so are going to be quite mind blowing.

The development of real-time translation apps - for text, voice and visuals - is moving at breakneck pace. Although still not perfect, they are already remarkable. The next stage of their development will be the integration of these tools into our everyday lives, including into AR (augmented reality) devices like glasses, smart headphones and other wearables. This is a very near future reality, and a massive business opportunity in many different markets. Once the tech companies make
