Technology will create new jobs as well. Out-of-work “top gun” pilots may find jobs captaining dirigibles, says Joel Barker, author of Five Regions of the Future. A relic from the 1920s and 1930s, these rigid blimps will revolutionize travel in the developing world, he adds.<\/p>\n
Hollywood’s woes may be solved by holography. Since consumers are perfectly happy watching DVDs at home on big flat-screen televisions, box-office receipts have slipped and movie moguls are scrambling. But eventually, Barker says, film companies will start producing three-dimensional holographic movies that require equipment too expensive and complicated to set up at home.<\/p>\n
It’s too early to declare the end of oil, but alternative energy will create dozens of new careers in the next two decades. Hydrogen fuel could be cost-competitive with gasoline if refueling stations were mass-produced, according to a study conducted by Ford. The hydrogen at these stations would be produced on-site, so managers would need an entirely different set of skills than those required in today’s gas stations, which are mainly retail operations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Interesting, no?\u00a0 Blimps in the developing world, holographic movies and hydrogen-manufacturing gas stations.\u00a0 The gas station idea is an amazing idea and surely energy-industry jobs will be expanding in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
