"Some experts point to the industrial age as an example of how humans elevated out of manual labour thanks to tractors and mills. **Before the industrial revolution, over 80% of the population was employed in food production. Now it is less than 5%.** Fortunately for humans, when tractors replaced people in farms, we discovered that we had big brains that could do all sorts of intelligent work. **The difference now is that software, media and machines are replacing human intelligence, which leaves us with our human emotions as the last key differentiator.** Emotional intelligence is the new frontier, and if you have a job that doesn’t require you to empathise, connect, inspire or love then you’re running a risk."
