For a while we have had a maths and numbers obsession in the world of commerce. Careers were created and destroyed on the premise of mathematical ability. What a shame.
Thankfully, words are making a comeback. You see words are human. Words are what differentiate us from every other species. Words are where the emotion and value is. The numbers are only achieved when the words that precede them are thoughtful. It’s the right (correct?) side of the brain that matters. And finally business is catching on. I am so excited that we are outsourcing the left side of our work to the power of Moores Law. Which means us humans can get back to the stuff that matters. Love, design and nurturing. We can leave the manufacturing and piece work to the machines and microchips. And instead we can innovate and humanize what we do to earn a living.
What we ought be thankful for is those who sacrificed their time and days during the transition period of the industrial revolution. It’s really akin a war that was fought by our forefathers to help us get past ‘bit’ work.
Welcome to the new world of emotional labour.
