”[2013] we had nine areas of skills shortages, now we have 43 areas. Every
single type of engineering is in short supply, from mechanical to software,
civil to electrical.”
"In IT, coders, programmers, developers are all in short supply.”
Kevin Green, Chief Executive of the Recruitment and Employment Confederation
Buckstone Primary School
Edinburgh
Classes P3-P7
Input from over 100 pupils in total
And 1 very eager IT teacher
Robots/ AI in the workspace will be commonplace
Automated helpers
Ambient virtual assistants
Robots with a productivity purpose
The bottom line: Design things to be part of the process
! TEACHER INPUT ALERT ! 3D printed food replication
The bottom line: Design printery things to have no limits
Replaces the vending machine
Healthy snacks only
Understand ingredients and end result
Physical interfaces we see today will be replaced by holo-technology
‘Roll up and take home’ virtual
environments
Every surface is an inter(sur)face
- walls, windows
No PC
The bottom line: Design things to be stealthy
Renewable energy sources were considered mandatory
Self-charging device energy
requirements were to be offset by using
waste and pollutants as recyclable fuels
Smart windows – as displays, as energy
sources
Office waste immediately converted
The bottom line: Design things to be multi-use and ecothingy
Biometrics and facial recognition to play a big part in security
Devices are expected to identify users
passively, not explicitly
Not a single mention of ‘password’ to
access devices
Children value the idea of privacy long
before they understand
the full implications of it
The bottom line: Design things to be passively secure to the user
! TEACHER INPUT ALERT ! We don’t need no thought control
“Brainstorming hat” !
Language and Communication
The bottom line: Teachers like Douglas Adams and JK Rowling
Work environment shaped to employee moods
The bottom line: Design things to change the emotion of work
Crowdshaping and in reverse
No more Dilbert cubes
Emotional connection to work
Out of Office
The bottom line: Design things to reimagine how we want to communicate
High proportion cited using video
technologies as main collaboration tool
Fixed line comms are a no-no – it’s all
mobile devices from here
Drone cams and glasses record meetings
and work-life

There’s a scruffy looking, LED powered,
Hasselhoff doppelganger who cries,
“Developers are the new Kingmakers !”
I’m here to claim,
“Engineers are the new Kingslayers !”
