You need to evolve with changes in tech. A technology evangelist should focus more on networking, attending conferences and talking to executives, in person if possible. That is, focus on the human touch.
Another avenue is that of influencer on social media.

- DonsDiscountGas 3y agoLearning new things takes time. When we were inventing new machines once per generation, that means workers needed to learn new skills once per generation, which is completely achievable. If we can train AIs faster than human beings can learn new things, there's no way for people to keep up. Even if AIs are a bit slower that's still an issue. Imagine getting a new masters degree every 5 years.
- NavinF 3y agoI think we both agree that people who learn new skills only once per generation are not gonna make it. That's what I meant by "skill issue"
- syndicatedjelly 3y agoWhy is that an automatically agreeable opinion? There are a lot of people in professional trades who go to school once in their career, and then periodically augment their skills. But they don't go and get a whole new degree every few years just to continue to have a job
- DonsDiscountGas 3y ago"AI will turn us all into schmoozers and social media influencers" may very well be true, and it's extremely dystopian.
- datadrivenangel 3y agoOn our way to a socialist utopia! At some point, we're all pretending to work 100% of the time, and can just... stop.
