A Very Big Idea from a Very Small Place



For us Americans, Avinash Meetoo's accent can be a bit hard to understand.  The word "vehicles" confused me for a minute.  But this is definitely a good TEDx talk to check out.  First, he's one of many people, but not near enough, looking for ways to get people working in this weird time in our society.  Two, his idea of mixing STEM education with arts is great.  Three, this guy is from Mauritius.  Yeah, that's a little tiny island way the hell out in the Indian ocean off the coast of Madagascar.  That's a big island off the eastern coast of Africa.  So here's a guy in a place most Americans don't know exists, giving a TEDx Talk about a huge issue for everyone around the world.  The future of work in a world where technology is replacing millions of jobs on a continual basis.  But hardly anyone here in the U.S. is talking about this issue.   That's why I started this blog.  Finding ways to make a living in the 21st century is a huge issue.  We need to get on this.
