Threat to My People Working With PEOPLE blog

There are cool things other than people working with (and on) people. Thanks to Kim for pointing this out to me - a few days ago the first ever heart surgery conducted by a robot took place in Italy. The surgery was initiated and monitored by a human surgeon, of course, but he was in Boston! Learn more here.

People working with and relying on robots won't remove the necessity for people to work effectively together. Rather, as the mediums we use to collaborate and the tools we leverage change at an unfathomable, exponential pace, how humans interact to adapt to these changes will have to improve drastically.

Shift Happens is a cool video that looks at how things are changing, and shows a clear need to change the way we teach, learn, and collaborate.
