• We know, actually what we are not.

3. Reason of our neurasthenia…
• Too much competition in the peripheral society
• Everyone is in a race of “Don’t know what, Don’t know why”
• We are Driven by the nature, society, side-talks, NOT by our heart.
• Characteristically , we are so slow in adaptation
(technology, change, trends)
• We are prone to be reactive, NOT proactive
• We Listen to Answer, NOT to understand
• We think “Calculation, Analysis” is for scientists, Whereas, it is MORE
for the common people.

12. Some key factors
• The biggest change will undoubtedly be the birth of new areas of work
where the creation and designing of automated and online processes are
concerned.
• According to one estimate, almost two-thirds of today’s kindergarten
students will eventually have occupations that don’t currently exist.
• Key industries that will buffer you against the possibility of unemployment
in the future include AI, robotics, 3D printing, nanotechnology, quantum
computing, biotechnology, The Internet of Things, autonomous transport,
aerospace, genomics (mapping and editing of genomes) and to name but
a few

13. Some key factors (continued)
• Re-skilling a workforce regularly during a person’s career will become
the norm. Widespread disruption is imminent, and therefore,
preparation is key.

• No Electrical Engineer can make a Complete Solution with the help of
Software Engineer or Mechanical Engineer or the knowledge of the
mentioned discipline.
• No Software Engineer can make a Complete Solution with the help of
Electrical Engineer or Mechanical Engineer or the knowledge of the
