*IDEAS IN THE ARTICLE I AGREE WITH (More could be added)
Idea 1:Robots may help us get
to where we want to be faster,
but they can’t be as creative as
humans (yet).
Idea 2:These developments
will transform the way we live,
and the way we work.
Idea 3:Change won’t wait for
us: business leaders, educators
and governments all need to be
proactive in up-skilling and
retraining people so everyone
can benefit from the Fourth
Industrial Revolution
Reason: I agree because I can really see today that robot
can help to make our life easier but it does not mean that
their creativity is same wit us since humans are the one
who created them. The ideas are coming from humans.
By that, Humans are still more creative than robots.
Reason: I also agree that in the future, there is a
possibility that robots can be as creative as us because
humans could upgrade techonologies and turn the robot
to be creative like us.
Reason:Because it is obvious that techology has a big
impact in our lives. If we are just going to compare our
standard of living before and now, we could see how
different technologies transformed our everyday lives.
Reason: Because today, technolgy has already improve
our way of living, what more in the coming years
knowing that it would be more easy to create more robots
or technologies since we already have these kinds of
resources.
Reason: Because if we do not improve our skills we
will be left behind by other countries as they are
already upgrading their goods and resources. In
addition, people nowadys are more patronized by
technologies.
Reason: Because if our business leaders, educators and
governments practice the needed skills in Fourth
Industrial Revolution, it would help to develop our
economy.
*IDEAS IN THE ARTICLE I DO NOT AGREE WITH (More could be added)
Idea 1:Whereas negotiation
and flexibility are high on the
list of skills for 2015, in 2020
they will begin to drop from
the top 10 as machines, using
masses of data, begin to make
our decisions for us
Idea 2:A survey done by the
World Economic Forum’s
Global Agenda Council on the
Future of Software and
Society shows people expect
artificial intelligence machines
to be part of a company’s
board of directors by 2026
Idea 3:active listening,
considered a core skill today,
will disappear completely
from the top 10.
Reason: Because negotiation will still be needed in
the future since there are limitations that technologies
cannot do and negotiation is one of those.
Reason: It would be more effetive if people are the
one who will do the talking, negotiating with other
people and especilly in making decisions.
Reason: Because board of directors are responsible
for maintining the company by operating it and
making good decisions. By that, technology could
only help in evaluating data but could not make an
effective decisions.
Reason: It would be effective for the company if it
would be handled only by the Board of Directors
since it has a big responsibilities and I do not think
that technology can handle that.
Reason: Active listening should not be disappear
because a good communication is a must in our
everyday lives. Those different technologies will not
be helpful in developing our country if there is no
good negotiation and in order to have a good
negotiation, active listening should be applied.
Reason: Because communication will always be
needed in our lives no matter what happens.

4. Write an essay based on the following questions: Do the article of Alex Gray and the article
of Vikram Mansharamani contradict each other? How does "Future is not a specific skill" affect
your answers to the two activity sheets?

The article written by Alex Gray stated different skills and compared it to each other.
They conduct a survey and compared the top 10 skills in 2015 to 2020. It focused on identifying
what would be the effective skills to be adapt in the coming years as our world has changing and
developing. It focuses on preparing ourselves as the world has changing because of developing
technologies. “By 2020, the Fourth Industrial Revolution will have brought us advanced robotics
and autonomous transport, artificial intelligence and machine learning, advanced materials,
biotechnology and genomics” (Gray, 2016). This article of Alex Gray educating us what skills
we need to practice in order to benefit from the fourth Industrial Revolutions. As he stated
“Change won’t wait for us: business leaders, educators and governments all need to be proactive
in up-skilling and retraining people so everyone can benefit from the Fourth Industrial
Revolution.” (Gray, 2016). On the other hand, the article of Vikram Mansharamani focuses on
reminding us not to focus or be expertise on just one field. As he stated “The one certainty about
the future is that it will be uncertain. The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence and
technological innovation have commoditized information. The skill of generating dots is losing
value. The key skill of the future is, well, not quite a skill; it’s an approach, a philosophy, and
way of thinking — and it’s critical you adopt it as soon as you’re able.” (Mansharamani, 2016),
he informed us that we should not only focus on improving our skills based on our field but also
to improve different things that will enable us to handle different situations and to be ready for
the possible changes. With this, the article of Alex Gray and Vikram Mansharamani are both
preparing us for the possible changes that might happen in our world but with different ways on
how we will deal with those changes.
“Future is not a specific skill” made me realized a lot of things as it focuses on giving us
insights on what would be the effective way to adjust with changes and that is to become a
flexible by learning different things and not just on skills we need. As an accountancy student, I
am more focused on how will I improve my skills in the field of accounting but then, I realized
that I should be more focused on how will I improve myself as a whole individual. By that, I
would be able to learn different things and discover new things that would help me to handle
different situations. With this, I should be prepared with different opportunities that may come to
me someday. Applying this attitude would help me become successful in life.
