In tech executive coverage, there is a focus on personalities and drama instead of capabilities and execution. In tech product coverage, there is a focus on features and announcements instead of evaluating whether a product is meaningful and worthwhile. Technology trade press doesn't treat our industry as a business, so much as a "scene"; If our industry had magazines, we'd have a lot of People but no Variety, a Rolling Stone, but no Billboard.

Moore's Law - the proposition that computer capabilities double approximately every 18 months - suggests that we are riding an exponential tidal wave that will, say the MIT researchers, make many human skills redundant.

Those skills are: statistical insight; managing group dynamics; good writing; framing and solving open-ended problems; persuasion; and human nurturing. These will define the jobs they think will exist at the end of the universe.
