He said, “Three developments of the 90s are forming the building blocks for far-reaching change. First, is the remarkable and rapid drop in the price of computing power.
The second big shift brought about by the internet, which has made knowledge ubiquitous is what I call the democratisation of innovation",
He further said, "The pandemic has resulted in one more format, which is work from home, and already companies are contemplating differential compensation depending on your geography of work.
nd then you have the gig economy where young people do not wish to be confined in a strait jacket of formal employment, but prefer working for a period and then take a break to pursue other interests".
