3 critical skills for the future:
a. critical thinking
b. industry expertise
c. effective communication
We will have so much abundance of ideas, that the true rare skill will not be to have great ideas, but to be able to pick the very best ones from huge pools of alternatives.
Revisited: one thing I saw growing up with the Internet as Google grew, was that small lists and directories tended to disappear, and then re-appear in new incarnations, providing service, curation and selection that Google itself couldn't match, for people willing to search them out and of course pay the premium, and where there was enough interest to support this. They didn't scale - they didn't turn into chains of 30 indie directories networks - but they often prospered.
The age of directories is upon us.
