There\u2019s lot of talk about how automation will be taking jobs in the coming decade, but it\u2019s already happened to Web Development. Easy to use web building tools have made it easy for non-coders to produce professional results, in and out of WordPress. A storm referred to as the \u201cFourth Industrial Revolution\u201d is coming that will continue to transform this space. How will it impact opportunities for WordPress developers and how do we plan for it? This talk examines how the inevitable changes being brought by the much-hyped but little-understood technologies of the coming era will create new opportunities while phasing-out old ones. AI (including Machine Learning, Deep Learning and more), Distributed Ledger Technology aka Blockchain, The Internet of things (IoT), Virtual, Augmented and Mixed Reality (XR) and 5G connectivity are all technologies you may have heard of, but not yet considered how they will work together to be game changers. You may not have heard as much about Volumetric Content, Spatial Computing, Edge Networks, Data Lakes and Quantum Computing but it\u2019s time you did.
\nHow will this transformation affect our careers and how can you help WordPress keep up with the times and keep its market advantage? This is something Ben Erwin has put a lot of thought into and is eager to share his insights in this talk where he distills the key concepts of 4IR so you can evolve your skills and keep making a living doing work you love.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
