World over as rule baed processes get automated /done more efficiently by bots, new skills are coming to fore that make impact. The one skill that all of us had as kids is sorely missing now a days as people get older and get into rote roles or fixed silos - Curiosity
The sheer interest/enthusiasm to know why something is happening, what if something different is tried out, think outside box for traditional problems, the will to try something new and see what happens! Why is this critical?
As futurists like Mark Stevenson travel world over to see the innovations that are making world changing impact, its the fundamental trait of curiosity and not being bogged by traditional routines imposed by time/ commercial organisations that is coming to fore as the winning skill. Be it simulating bacteria through crowdsourcing to cut the new drug discovery costs to a fraction in India, voters deciding how government spends its revenues and so on, the common trait of these innovators is curiosity.
Curiosity and resulting Innovation may perhaps never get done by a BOT or an algorithm. How prevalent is this skill in and around you?
