They never really take the time to understand it and communicate what the implications of those new technologies will be. I created this site to help you not only learn about the latest advancements, but to also use that new technology\u00a0<em><strong>to your advantage<\/strong><\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"color: #ffffff; background: linear-gradient( rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.7), rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.7) ), url('https:\/\/www.alexshoolman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_20161021_044616-Compressed.jpg'); background-position: center center; padding: 10% 20%;\">\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center; line-height: 1; font-weight: bolder;\">Why My Material Is So Powerful<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-size: 1.4em; line-height: 1.6; text-align: left;\">I recently read a fascinating book. Inside it cited case after case for how automation has stolen jobs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 1.4em; line-height: 1.6; text-align: left;\">It listed Google, Apple and others making<em><strong>\u00a0more profit<\/strong> <\/em>whilst employing <em><strong>fewer people<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 1.4em; line-height: 1.6; text-align: left;\">We all\u00a0<em><strong>know\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>automation is happening and it&#8217;s great to get news about it.

It&#8217;s no secret that industry after industry has been drastically changed over the past 10-20 years. They&#8217;ve all fought it and they&#8217;ve all lost.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 1.4em; line-height: 1.6; text-align: center;\">So rather than just list out the news <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alexshoolman.com\/blog\/2017\/08\/09\/how-to-profit-when-robots-steal-your-job-part-1\/\">my material looks deeper<\/a> inside to help you better understand the core technology. Then it guides you through how you can not only embrace this new change but use it to help you succeed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 1.4em; line-height: 1.6; text-align: center;\">As an example, currently the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alexshoolman.com\/blog\/category\/energy-transport\/\">energy and transportation<\/a> industries are undergoing a huge, fundamental shift. They&#8217;ve both had over a century of essentially unchanged technology turned on it&#8217;s head in the last decade. Solar, wind, batteries and electric vehicles promise an amazing transformation and you can learn how to benefit from it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 1.4em; line-height: 1.6; text-align: center;\">Many complain and worry about technology.
