Why we should all be fighter pilots and poetsSarah Drinkwater, Campus London, Google
Hi! I’m @sarahdrinkwater on Twitter
What I cared about as a kid
What my family cared about
Education made me choose
And then I found the desire line
How we used to live
Play Learn Work Relax
But….
“There’s no way anyone would want a computer in their home” - 1977
The shift: everything all the time
RelaxWorkLearnPlay
The shift: work is in flux
Lifelong learning Flatter hierarchies, weirder offices
No career for life Mission-driven
Renaissance men and women
Like Ada Lovelace
The best things happen at the point of convergence
The “Future Perfect”
“The future is here, it’s just not very evenly distributed” (William Gibson)
Why are we limiting ourselves?
