"Both Friedman in Thank You For Being Late and Kevin Kelly in The Inevitable make an optimistic case that as technology displaces workers, it also creates new jobs requiring new skills. But Friedman also noted that when the Industrial Age displaced the Agricultural Age, it took about a generation for old ways to die off and new ways to surface. While the rate of change has accelerated since 2007, will our rate of adaptation - both as individuals and as educational systems - match that change rate? Audrey quoted Neil Selwyn, who identified three contemporary ideologies intertwined with the technological ones - libertarianism, neoliberalism, adnd the ideology of the new economy…to which she added a fourth - technological solutionism. These four align with concepts of venture capitalism, the gig economy, the shared economy, the attention economy…all happening fast, free, easy for you, and accelerating."

As it turns out, this concept is completely fictional. The film was done by advertising students and submitted to Future Lions in Cannes. The students are not, in fact, working with Google—though one student with the project says that Google indicates the technique is at least theoretically possible. We've updated this post to clarify that this is only a thought experiment and not a service that's being pursued by Google.
