Ok....when seeing the video my first thought was wow, this is a little creepy. I mean really, they are right!! Our whole way of life is changing, has changed! Technology has come so far and is so easy and flexible. For a person entering to the workforce, I think it will effect the way they look, the jobs that are opened up to them, as well as the way they correspond with prospective employees. No longer is the searching process as narrow as a newspaper its so far beyond that. However it calls for them to be very well versed in the web. This raises the bar for the qualification box in your resume. It also makes it hard for older people who have found themselves thrown into the umemployment poole in search for jobs that might call for even simple technological knowledge that they dont possess.
As far as people within the workforce I think it does virtually the same thing. It might increase the amount of classes or workshops offered to refine techonology skills, as well as open up a new area for things such as advertisment and growth of the company.
We have to rethink everything because with our web boom, everything is changing. Whether it be good or bad they're all things to be considered. How do we teach our kids personability when they rely on text and web to make friends. How do we connect on a personal level, and encourage that?! How will this effect the new generation? The old generation? Won't it have an effect on our culture as well as the culture of the world? New world policies, procedures, communication?
Web can be a blessing or a curse, no matter the interpretation, the fact is that its here. Its up to us to embrace, push away or ignore.
