A little bit about Honeywell

Honeywell invents and manufactures technologies to address some of the world’s toughest challenges initiated by revolutionary macrotrends in science, technology and society. A Fortune 100 company, we create solutions to improve the quality of life of people around the globe: generating clean, healthy energy – and using it more efficiently. Increasing our safety and security. Enabling people around the world to connect, communicate, and collaborate. And equipping our customers to be even more productive. With approximately 132,000 employees worldwide, including more than 22,000 engineers and scientists, we have an unrelenting commitment to quality and delivering results in everything we make and do.

Opening on Amazon:

All people can create value—but for that to happen, we need to develop a people-centered, rather than a task-centered, economy. Today, we are very far from that. According to Gallup, of the five billion people on this planet aged fifteen or older, three billion work in some way. Most of them want full-time jobs, but only 1.3 billion have them. Of these, only 13 percent are fully engaged in their work, giving and receiving its full value. This terrible waste of human capacity and mismanagement of people’s desire to create value for each other is more than just very bad business. It is an insult to ourselves and to all human beings.

CHAPTER 5. Accelerating Towards a Jobless Future:

The Rise of the Machine and the Human Quest for Meaningful Work by Steve Jurvetson and Mo Islam

A New Paradigm

Let’s go far enough in the future where no one will debate the sweeping transition of time. There are infinite possible paths to this distant future, but we can imagine reasonable endpoints. This future will look like much of human history prior to the industrial and agricultural revolutions, where serfs and slaves did most of the labor-intensive work in the city-state economies. But while we hope the arc of the moral universe continues to bend towards justice, there will be a new paradigm in master and slave relationship between man and machine. The slaves of the future will be our machines.

There won’t be many jobs in the sense that we think of them for most people today. Machines will take over mechanically repetitive tasks. Humans will ever only need to do this type of work if they choose to, but they will not provide the most efficient means to complete these tasks. Even highly skilled workers, such as engineers, doctors, and scientists, will have their professions disrupted by automation and artificial intelligence. We will automate engineering, we will automate diagnosis, and we will automate discovery of scientific principles. In this future, where the marginal cost of labor is zero and where companies have reached new bounds of profit maximization, both the microeconomics of individual companies and the macroeconomics of the global economy will be completely upended. Maslow’s hierarchy of needs—food, shelter, health care, education—will be free for everyone forever. We won’t need to work to achieve the basic building blocks of sustainable civilization. The only important human need that will be amplified in this distant future even more than it is now is the desire for meaning.

Humanity’s Compounding Capacity to Compute

First, we will lay a framework for understanding why we believe this is a possible future. We are already on the trajectory to get us there—we have been since the dawn of the industrial age. Humanity’s capacity to compute has been constantly compounding. Incredibly, it can be explained through a simple and elegant model that, at first glance, may seem narrow in its explanatory power, but that tells a much deeper story. That model to describe this macrotrend begins with Moore’s Law. Moore’s Law is commonly reported as a doubling of transistor density every eighteen months. But unless you work for a chip company and focus on fab-yield optimization, you do not care about the transistor counts that Gordon Moore originally wrote about. When recast as a computational capability, Moore’s Law is no longer a transistor-centric metric.

What Moore observed in the belly of the early integrated circuit industry was a derivative metric, a refraction of a longer-term trend, a trend that begs various philosophical questions and predicts mind-bending futures. Ray Kurzweil’s abstraction of Moore’s Law shows computational power on a logarithmic scale and finds a double exponential curve that holds over 110 years! A straight line would represent a geometrically compounding curve of progress.

Figure 1: Ray Kurzweil’s abstraction of Moore’s Law. Each dot is a computer. (older version)

Through five paradigm shifts—such as electromechanical calculators and vacuum tube computers—the computational power that $1,000 buys has doubled every two years. For the past thirty years, it has been doubling every year.

Each dot is the frontier of computational price performance of the day. One machine was used in the 1890 census; one cracked the Nazi Enigma cipher in World War II; one predicted Eisenhower’s win in the 1956 presidential election. Many of them can be seen in the Computer History Museum. Each dot represents a human drama. Prior to Moore’s seminal paper in 1965, which presented what later became known as Moore’s Law, none of them even knew they were on a predictive curve. Each dot represents an attempt to build the best computer with the tools of the day. Of course, we use these computers to make better design software and manufacturing control algorithms. And so the progress continues.

Notice also that the pace of innovation is exogenous to the economy. The Great Depression and the world wars and various recessions do not introduce a meaningful change in the long-term trajectory of Moore’s Law. Certainly, the adoption rates, revenues, profits, and economic fates of the computer companies behind the various dots on the graph may go through wild oscillations, but the long-term trend emerges nevertheless.

In the modern era of accelerating change in the tech industry, it is hard to find even five-year trends with any predictive value, let alone trends that span the centuries. We would go further and assert that this is the most important graph ever conceived, and this is why it is so important as a foundation for understanding the future. We humans, regardless of external factors such as war, disease, and failing economies, have over vast periods of time doubled our capabilities to produce new technologies to propel us forward.

Accelerating Technological Progress

Moore’s law has set the bar for the accelerating pace of computation and innovation. How can we expect it to keep accelerating to get even faster now to the distant future we describe? All new technologies are combinations of technologies that already exist. Innovation does not occur in a vacuum; it is a combination of ideas from before. In any academic field, the advances today are built on a large edifice of history. This is why major innovations tend to be “ripe” and tend to be discovered at nearly the same time by multiple people. The compounding of ideas is the foundation of progress, something that was not so evident to the casual observer before the age of science. Science tuned the process parameters for innovation and became the best method for a culture to learn.

From this conceptual base comes the origin of economic growth and acceleration of technological change, as the combinatorial explosion of possible idea pairings grows exponentially as new ideas come into the mix, as dictated by Reed’s Law. It explains the innovative power of urbanization and networked globalization. And it explains why interdisciplinary ideas are so powerfully disruptive; it is like the differential immunity of epidemiology, whereby islands of cognitive isolation (e.g., academic disciplines) are vulnerable to disruptive memes hopping across them, in much the same way that South America was vulnerable to smallpox from Cortés and the Conquistadors. If disruption is what you seek, cognitive island hopping is good place to start, mining the interstices between academic disciplines.

It is the combinatorial explosion of possible innovation-pairings that creates economic growth, and it is about to go into overdrive. In recent years, we have begun to see the global innovation effects of a new factor: the Internet. People can exchange ideas as never before. Long ago, people were not communicating across continents; ideas were partitioned, and so the success of nations and regions pivoted on their own innovations. Richard Dawkins states that in biology it is genes which really matter, and we as people are just vessels for the conveyance of genes. It is the same with ideas or “memes.” We are the vessels that hold and communicate ideas, and now that pool of ideas percolates on a global basis more rapidly than ever before.

Rise of the Machines

Moore’s Law provides the model for us to understand humanity’s continuous compounding capacity to compute—with that we have accelerating technological progress driven by the combinatorial explosion of new ideas by ever-increasing sub-groups of cognitively diverse people becoming connected. However, the ramifications of this longer-term trend will start to become apparent in the very short term. We believe the greatest disruptor for job displacement caused by this accelerating innovation is the self-driving car.

In five years, it will be clear that the debate about the rise of the autonomous vehicle will have ended. Everyone will realize its ubiquity, especially as the first city pilots with autonomous vehicles begin rolling out. The Google car has already driven over a million miles without causing an accident. Automotive original equipment manufacturers and new companies are investing massive amounts of capital and engineering manpower to get to market with fully (Level 4) autonomous cars. The commercialization path of these self-driving cars, whether through an Uber-like on-demand service or through direct sales to consumers, is less important than the enormous impact they will have on the global job market. Using global employment data from the International Labour Organization (ILO), we find that by 2019, 5.7 percent of global employment will be in the transport, storage, and communication sector (See Figure 2). Moreover, the distribution of employment status data shows us that globally more than 60 percent of all workers lack any kind of employment contract, with most of them engaged in unpaid or family work in the developing world (See Figure 3). We find that, of workers worldwide who have a paid full-time job (excluding temporary workers), almost 20 percent drive as their form of employment today!

And autonomous vehicles are only the tip of the iceberg. As these systems transcend human comprehension, we will shift from traditional engineering to evolutionary algorithms and iterative learning algorithms such as deep learning and machine learning. While these techniques are powerful, the locus of learning shifts from the artifacts themselves to the process that created them. The beauty of compounding iterative algorithms (evolution, fractals, organic growth, art) derives from their irreducibility. And it empowers us to design complex systems that exceed human understanding, which we increasingly need to do at the cutting edge of software engineering. This process presents a plausible path to general artificial intelligence, or what Ray Kurzweil and others refer to as “strong A.I.” Danny Hillis summarizes succinctly in the conclusion from his programming primer The Pattern on the Stone: “We will not engineer an artificial intelligence; rather we will set up the right conditions under which an intelligence can emerge. The greatest achievement of our technology may well be creation of tools that allow us to go beyond engineering—that allow us to create more than we can understand.” Once we build these systems that surpass human understanding and that may even surpass human intelligence, the number of jobs that will be overhauled is unbounded—leading us to a future where no one will have to work.

Figure 3: Distribution of employment status, showing that only 40 percent of people have full-time jobs

Meaningful Work

Moore’s Law will drive human innovation forward and the collective global intelligence will create new forms of super artificial intelligence that can surpass human capabilities. This will completely disrupt our notion of jobs. Work is now the very thing that powers our global economy. But what happens when it no longer has to? Or at least, when most humans are no longer the aggregate primary drivers of global work, how will we find meaning in our lives? This existential phenomenon is one that will completely turn the current debate about the race against the machine on its head: the debate will no longer be about machines taking human jobs but instead about humans needing meaning in their work, even though it may no longer be for employment. The nature of jobs as we think about them today will dramatically change in the future, but humans will retain their thirst for deriving purpose from their actions. This is already becoming a major focus for employers now, as millennials entering the job market are interested in more than just salary, benefits, and job security to satisfy their work expectations. They want to be a part of something larger, to fulfill a mission that can really change the world. As we look to this distant future where employment isn’t necessary for most humans, finding meaning through non-traditional forms of work, whether hobbies, research, or entertainment will become paramount to sustaining a thriving civilization.

Title: Sydney

Series: Know Your Cities Series 1 (ABC of City Education)

Pieces: 221 (17 x 13).

Size: (400 x 325mm).

Date: -

Bar Code: -

Origin: -

One of two jigsaws that I acquired recently, both of which arrived assembled inside the box.

There is very little information about these, which I will summarise below:

The box is 400 x 325 x 25 mm, and the completed puzzle (just) fits inside. The pieces are thin card with a bright white backing. No piece count is given, and the grid is irregular, but the edges have 17 pieces on the horizontal and 13 on the verticals so the count is estimated from those.

On each side of the box is the text "Paul Hamlyn Group Product". I remember Hamlyn as a book publisher, producing reference books under that name and the similar Octopus imprint. There are no reference numbers or other unique identifiers beyond the city name and the picture itself.

On one side of the box is the text "ABC of city education {NAME}" and on the top, overlaying the guide picture, is "KNOW YOUR CITIES jigsaw puzzle - series1 {NAME}".

As well as the puzzle, there is a sheet of clear acetate that you can place over the completed picture and various landmarks are highlighted and described. There is no date on the puzzles, and perhaps the only way to know for sure would be for someone familiar with the cities to look at the pictures and determine a timeframe by what is and what is not present.

The text on the acetate for the Canberra puzzle does contain the sentence; "The population of 106,200 is estimated to increase to 250,000 by 1984." An online search gives population figures of 103,000 in 1967 and 113,000 in 1968 (www.macrotrends.net/cities/206175/canberra/population), which may date these puzzles to that time. [In 1984, the population turned out to be 245,000, rising to 252,000 in 1985.]

The Sydney puzzle has a David Jones price ticket of 99c on the box. This would post-date decimalisation in Australia, which was in 1966. Two other cities in the series, Adelaide and Melbourne, are currently on eBay at $45 each. Sydney and Canberra were $2 each from a charity shop.

With recent reports from climate scientists around the world, the need for technologies matched with problems to help solve our environmental and energy challenges is even more pressing. Over the past two years, CMU has engaged with a small group of regional stakeholders, hosting meetings to understand and articulate the features of our burgeoning local startup landscape in specific energy and cleantech sector specialties. As an NREL IN2 Strategic Channel Partner, we are developing ideas on how to amplify Pittsburgh nationally with investors as well as how to understand how energy and cleantech companies might be different from other types of startups. Hear from a distinguished panel from around the country as they discuss key drivers, insights and perspectives on trends in the energy and cleantech space. What macrotrends do they see? What do they care about? What would they like to see? What would they recommend as areas of future focus?

Over the past two years, CMU has engaged with a small group of regional stakeholders, hosting meetings to understand and articulate the features of our burgeoning local startup landscape in specific energy and cleantech sector specialties. As an NREL IN2 Strategic Channel Partner, we are developing ideas on how to amplify Pittsburgh nationally with investors as well as how to understand how energy and cleantech companies might be different from other types of startups. Hear from a distinguished panel from around the country as they discuss key drivers, insights and perspectives on trends in the energy and cleantech space. What macrotrends do they see? What do they care about? What would they like to see? What would they recommend as areas of future focus?
