Why we should all be fighter pilots and poetsSarah Drinkwater, Campus London, Google

Hi! I’m @sarahdrinkwater on Twitter

What I cared about as a kid

What my family cared about

Education made me choose

And then I found the desire line

How we used to live

Play Learn Work Relax

But….

“There’s no way anyone would want a computer in their home” - 1977

The shift: everything all the time

RelaxWorkLearnPlay

The shift: work is in flux

Lifelong learning Flatter hierarchies, weirder offices

No career for life Mission-driven

Renaissance men and women

Like Ada Lovelace

Or Alexey Leonov

The best things happen at the point of convergence

The “Future Perfect”

“The future is here, it’s just not very evenly distributed” (William Gibson)

Why are we limiting ourselves?

Thank you!
