  • In a sense, then, digital technology will transform work into a global supply chain of talent to carry out carefully programmed tasks on demand. As technology allows the individual tasks of many jobs to be done independently, the traditional role of an employer is dissolving. "A job is a bundle of privileges and obligations," notes longtime technology futurist Paul Saffo.

The announcement, marked by the opening of the first Smart Work Centre (SWC) in Almere, Amsterdam, highlighted the second Connected Urban Development (CUD) Global Conference, hosted by Cisco and the City of Amsterdam.

  • The trend suggests that predictions of an economy run by freelancers -- such as those made by Daniel Pink in his book Free Agent Nation, and by MIT's Thomas Malone and Robert Laubacher in their 1998 paper, "The Dawn of the E-Lance Economy" -- were shortsighted.
