About Reading
Reading furnishes the mind
only with materials of
knowledge; it is thinking that
makes what we read ours.John Locke
About Reading
The more that you read, the
more things you will know.
The more that you learn, the
more places you’ll go.Dr. Seuss
About Reading
Reading was also an early part of the regimen. For
Chesky, a source may come in the form of a biography
of a business hero such as Steve Jobs or Walt Disney.
His primary book source on management technique
is Andy Grove’s High Output Management. To learn
the ins and outs of hospitality, he went to the Cornell
Hospitality Quarterly, a scholarly journal published by
the Cornell University School of Hotel Administration.
Brian Chesky, founder of AirBNB, reads a lot!
About Reading
There’s no TVs anywhere. He (Warren Buffett)
spends all day reading. He takes maybe one meeting
a day, and he thinks so deeply.
Warren Buffett, one of the riches people in the world, also reads a lot!

The Future of Employment
The Future of Employment: How Susceptible are Jobs to Computerisation? (Frey & Osborne, 2013)
Estimate the probability of computerisation for 702 occupations
Ranges from 0.0028 for “Recreational Therapists” to 0.99 to “Telemarketers”
Read the report through, reflect and plan
Information Literacy
Coined by Paul Zurkowsky in 1974
Zurkowsky was the president of the U.S. Information Industry Association
The term “information literacy” appeared in a report/proposal to the National Commission on Library and Information Science
He mentioned the necessity for citizens to become “information literate” if they are to survive and compete in an emerging Information Society
[Digital] Information Fluency
computer literacy + information literacy + critical thinking
Digital Information Fluency (DIF) refers to the ability to find, evaluate and use digital information effectively, efficiently and ethically. DIF involves Internet search skills that start with understanding how digital information is different from print information, knowing how to use specialized tools for finding digital information and strengthening the dispositions in the digital information environment.
