Thanks to technology, the steady jobs that provided a living for our fathers and grandfathers no longer exist, and jobs that didn\u2019t exist ten years ago are now providing paychecks for hundreds of thousands of people. Even the way we consume has changed in the past ten years thanks to digital streaming services and rental services like Uber and Airbnb.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">But where are these technological trends taking us? How will they shape the future 10, 20, and even 30 years down the road?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Well, my guest today&nbsp;has written a book where he lays out his idea of what the future looks like. His name is Kevin Kelly. He\u2019s the founding executive editor of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/\">Wired Magazine<\/a>, and a former editor of Whole Earth Catalog, and he has spent his career thinking and writing about how technology, particularly the web, intersects with culture, business, and politics.

We also discuss the technological trends that worry Kevin the most.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If you\u2019re looking for a roadmap to navigating the brave new world we\u2019re entering, then you don\u2019t want to miss this podcast.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019re living in a time in which the landscape is changing quickly.
