What Will We Do For Work
I believe that 90% of white-collar jobs in the
I talked to an old
This time the productivity aims to reconstruct——make that deconstruct——the white-collar world. In **ct, I see a five-sided movement that will bring to my apparently **ntastic “90% in 10 years” prediction.
FIRST The destructive nature of the current flavor of competition, dotcom company.
Sure, most will **il. But the survivors will exert enormous pressure — **st! — on the Big Guys. When an Amazon or a Charles Schwab moves into your neighborhood, you've got moments to react. Or take king entrepreneur Jim Clark of Netscape **me. His latest venture, Healtheon/WebMD, intends to squeeze hundreds of billions of dollars of waste out of the health-care system. These new firms aim to create nothing less than havoc in the theaters in which they operate.
SECOND
It's a name for the tools that will hook up every aspect of a business's innards internal organs ——personnel, production, sales, accounting——and then hook up all that hooked-up stuff to the rest of the “**mily” of suppliers and the suppliers' suppliers and wholesalers and retailers and end users.
They are your nightmare, these “white-collar robots.” The complex products from German software giant SAP will do to your company's internal organs exactly what robots and containerization did to the blue-collar world in 1960. Installing these tools is not easy. The technical part is distressing; the politics are dreadful. When the blue-collar robots arrived, the unions revolted against it. This time it's management official who are opposing technological change. Why? These tools threaten their comfortable status, carefully crafted over several generations.
But the robots did come. And they triumphed.
THIRD Outsourcing
M.I.T.'s No. 1 computer professor, Michael Dertouzos, said
FOURTH The Web.
Ford, GM and DaimlerChrysler announce a rare combination. They will link all their tens of thousands of suppliers into a single, Internet-based network. This entity will include $250 billion annually of suppliers' products （and perhaps an additional $500 billion of those suppliers' suppliers' products）. In short, every penny of waste will be compressed from the huge procurement system. The order cycle will speed up dramatically. Medibuy aims for the same hat trick in medical supplies, DigitalThink in training, CarStation in the auto-body-shop world. This is the white-hot world of B2B （business to business） electronic commerce, which will soon encompass trillions of dollars in transactions.
FIFTH Time compression.
It took 37 years for the radio to get to 50 million homes. The Web got there in four. Hence my belief that while it took about a century to revolutionize blue-collar job practices, this brave new white-collar social system will be mostly installed in a tenth of that time——10 years.
Each of these five forces is **ct, not image. Each influences the others multiplicatively. Therefore I am unwilling to withdraw my predictions about the power of the white-collar storm bearing down on us. Upsetting madness is in process. These forces are liberating. Blue-collar robots work out of **ctory and warehouse. The same will happen to white-collar work. My dad did it for 41 years at the Baltimore Gas & Electric Co. He was, sad to say, a white-collar indentured servant（契约佣工）.
The world is going through more fundamental change than it has in hundreds, perhaps thousands of years. The head economist Sandia National Laboratories, Arnold Baker, said it's the“ biggest change since the cavemen began bartering.” Do you want to be player, a full-scale participant who embraces change? Here is the opportunity to participate in the lovely, messy playground called “Let's reinvent the world.”
Here's a new role model I call Icon Woman:
She is turned on by her work!
The work is cool!
She is an adventurer!
She is the CEO of her life!
My Icon Woman, of course, embraces and exploits the Web.
She submits her resume on the Web and keeps it perpetually active there.
She is recruited and negotiates and is hired on the Web.
She is trained on the Web.
She creates and conducts brilliant projects on the Web via a **r-flung“ virtual” stable of teammates （most of whom she's never met）.
She manages her career on the Web. And she has a personal website!
In approximately 2010, she will be at home, working——for the next several months——for Ford on a cruel difficult engineering problem. Her 79-member project team, only one of whom she's met **ce-to-**ce （she considers **ce-to-**ce as a quaint idea）, comes from 14 nations. Her fully wired home is her castle.
You maybe disprove. Is this“ be wild and crazy and Webby and CEO of your own life” picture—anything other than New Age/new economy?
I think it is relevant and real rather than wild and crazy——on at least two important scores.
One is that though my “house” is in
Two is back to the future! I constantly remind my middle-aged seminar participants that the quintessential Americans are changing……Who are? Ben Franklin （the **ther of self-help literature）. Ralph Waldo Emerson （self-reliance was his trait）. Walt Whitman, motivational leader Tony Robbins, and Bentonville, Arkansas' Sam Walton…… and Bill Gates.
Two is back to the future! I constantly remind my middle-aged seminar participants that the quintessential Americans are changing……Who are? Ben Franklin （the **ther of self-help literature）. Ralph Waldo Emerson （self-reliance was his trait）. Walt Whitman, motivational leader Tony Robbins, and
WHAT IF?
Maybe the wild new-economy
Like Grandpa, I am **cing extinction, only by this new set of powerful forces. I make most of my living giving live seminars and training programs and as a management consultant. It's all gravitating to the Web——gravitating. It's moving at the speed of light. I am scrambling to reinvent myself, to not just “cope” but to exploit the new communication and connection media.

There's an energy （36）__________ in America, but it has nothing to do with fossil fuels. Most of us already feel tired as soon as they get up in the morning. “I just can't get started.” People say.

Questions 47 to 51 are based on the following passage.
Yun is leading her own minirevolution. Her introductory physics course addresses a national priority, namely, to foster economic growth by producing not just more, but more creative, scientists and engineers.
Those two principles underlie her “Bilingual Physics With Multimedia” text and CD-ROM, a freshman course she has been developing since the mid-1980s that has been adopted by 10 Chinese universities. The course not only teaches the English that students need to discuss physics but also requires students to research physics topics and pr
