K-12 educators must understand that we can strengthen students' understanding of the World of Work by weaving automation and technology more naturally into the curriculum. The thoughtful use of technology has the potential to change the nature of work, allowing people to focus their time and energy on what interests them the most. When people and technology work as an integrated team with complementary capabilities, organizations can re-architect work to be more efficient and satisfying for people, often with better results for the organization.
