This is called "emacs fingers" in the office...

More seriously I do most of my work on paper with a pencil.


Some people will continue to be paid to sit and think. The remaining employed people will be moving about using a mobile device and interacting with a sensor and beacon-suffused work environment. Perhaps we can have a 30 hour work week and have more time for physical activity.


"Some people will continue to be paid to sit and think."

The thinking part being more important than sitting.


All sound plausible. Except the 30 hours.


Exactly. When you can work while driving, in line to get coffee, collecting the kids from school, going to the doctor etc I guess we'll spend more time working. I wonder if implants will let us work while we sleep?


It's going to be something. 30 hour week. Basic income. Revolution. Better to make an intentional choice.


ugh


Gestures? A neural interface would be much faster.
