Abstract
Modern technologies have presented the world with a plethora of new opportunities, from the mundane (reduced input rigor) through to new outcomes that eluded our collective wisdom and knowledge.

One poignant impact being seen today is the morphing between virtual and physical inputs (tech tools and humans), resulting in a demand for organizations to reinvigorate their business models in a manner that encompasses both types of inputs seamlessly. However, attendant issues with skills, job types, and tasks have come around full circle. One the one end, there is the fear of technology automating humans out of a job altogether (alongside the promise of enhancing individuals to pursue new skills in a cognitive world), while on the other end there are significant socio-economic concerns surrounding job losses and consequential impacts on the consumption-production continuum.
