Interesting point he made about how innovation will bring down prices in healthcare / education, and in turn there will be a boom in demand in places in the world that don't currently have ability to afford these services. What I think is left to be decided is what kind of innovations will happen in these spaces, which plays into the above point as to how much the innovation will either create or destroy jobs in those sectors. For example, Khan Academy. For someone with an internet connection they can teach themselves and/or leverage the community when they come across something they're having trouble understanding. These days there are so many resources available about so many things, it's hard to imagine people will suddenly become more inclined to want to pay for something they can get for free online. So perhaps the only jobs that are truly safe in education are those on the fringe / cutting edge. Theorists / researchers, etc. In healthcare it's more hazy I think, but still the innovations will either try to tackle "enabling" technologies which make it easier for doctors to do their job, or cut the middle man entirely and go direct to consumer. For example, why would I need a doctor to tell me I have cancer if I have a compact portable device that can tell me the answer to this question with 99.99% accuracy? So, then perhaps those who are truly safe are surgeons or researchers. Then again with more early detection / preventative innovation my hunch is, as a result, far fewer people will end up on the operating table.
