“Work that does not require discretion, creativity and physical contact will be performed by machines or information technology.

“In the future, there will be changes in social intimacy. The strengthening of social media will shift the role of mainstream media, neighbors become closer than colleagues, nuclear family interactions will be more intense,” Alvin concluded.
