  A recent interview with the Chief Information Officer of General Electric has implications for the future of the workplace, which in turn will affect what and how we teach to prepare students for the future jobs. Karl Fisch, one of the co-creators of the "Did You Know" presentation, delves into some of these implications.

  • We’ve gone out of our way to call it professional networking rather than social networking. We’ve been building a professional networking capability that allows everybody to put in the organization directory the skills that they bring to bear. It’s very searchable, so if someone is looking for a particular skill, they can go to that site. That gets about 25 million hits a day so it really is becoming sort of a heartbeat of the company. ...  Over the next five years there will be distinct change in the man-machine interface. We’ve all grown up with keyboards and mice, but I’d be surprised if five years from now we didn’t all interact with our computers via multitouch gestures . . .  Another big change is going to be OLED, organic light-emitting diodes, which are extremely thin screens that will start out as TV’s but will quickly become available as computers. They have better resolution than either LCD or plasma, and they’re so thin that you’ll be able to roll them up or fold them up and carry them. This will happen within the next five or six years: You’ll be carrying around the screen, you roll it out, and it’s got multitouch capability, and that’s all you’ll need.  Something that has already grown dramatically but will continue to grow even more and ultimately become core to enterprises, as well as consumers, is what’s known as cloud computing – having all the applications centrally located. If you ask what percent of the documents you create are just for you, it’s almost zero. Almost every document you create is for collaboration in one way, shape, or form.

  Blog post on an article on how GE is using "professional" networking to tap the power of their employees. Also references to roll-up/roll-out OLED screens with multitouch capabilities.

  Karl Fisch does a nice job pulling quotes from the CEO of GE. Paints a picture of what is possibly coming down the line for us, and begs the question, what are we doing to prepare our students for it?
