TRADUÇÃO DO TEXTO:
The Future Of Work: 5 Important Ways Jobs Will Change In The 4th Industrial Revolution
O futuro do trabalho: cinco maneiras importantes pelas quais os empregos mudarão na 4ª Revolução Industrial
1º PARÁGRAFO [1-12]:
In many respects, the future of work is already here. Amid the headlines exclaiming the predicted loss of jobs due to automation and other changes brought by artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning and autonomous systems, it’s clear that the way we work and live is transforming. This evolution can be unnerving. Since we know change is inevitable, let’s look at how work will likely change and some ideas for how to prepare for it.
Em muitos aspectos, o futuro do trabalho já está aqui. Por entre as manchetes que exclamam a perda prevista de empregos devido à automação e outras mudanças trazidas pela inteligência artificial (IA), pela aprendizagem automática e pelos sistemas autônomos, fica claro que a forma como trabalhamos e vivemos está a transformar-se. Essa evolução pode ser enervante. Como sabemos que a mudança é inevitável, vamos ver como o trabalho provavelmente mudará e algumas ideias sobre como nos preparar para isso.
2º PARÁGRAFO [13-24]:
At least 30% of the activities associated with the majority of occupations in the United States could be automated, which includes even knowledge tasks that were previously thought to be safe according to a McKinsey Global Institute report. This echoes what executives see as well and prompted Rick Jensen, Chief Talent Officer at Intuit to say, “The workforce is changing massively.” Here are just a few of the ways:
Pelo menos 30% das atividades associadas à maioria das profissões nos Estados Unidos poderiam ser automatizadas, o que inclui até mesmo tarefas de conhecimento que antes eram consideradas seguras, de acordo com um relatório do McKinsey Global Institute. Isso também reflete o que os executivos veem e levou Rick Jensen, diretor de talentos da Intuit, a dizer: “A força de trabalho está mudando enormemente”. Aqui estão apenas algumas das maneiras:
3º PARÁGRAFO [25-36]:
Within an organization, positions will be more fluid, and a strict organizational chart will likely be tossed in favor of more project-based teams. This is especially appealing to Generation Z employees since 75% of Generation Z employees would be interested in having multiple roles in one place of employment. The “gig” economy will continue to expand where professionals sign on as contractors or freelancers and then move on to the next gig.
Dentro de uma organização, as posições serão mais fluidas e um organograma rígido provavelmente será substituído por equipes mais baseadas em projetos. Isto é especialmente atraente para os funcionários da Geração Z, uma vez que 75% dos funcionários da Geração Z estariam interessados em ter múltiplas funções num local de trabalho. A economia do “gig” continuará a se expandir, onde os profissionais contratam como contratados ou freelancers e depois passam para o próximo trabalho.
4º PARÁGRAFO [37-44]:
Thanks to mobile technology and readily available internet access, remote workers are already common. Employees won’t need to be in the same location. This will make it easier for the next generation workers to choose to live anywhere, rather than find a job and then move to a city with that job.
Graças à tecnologia móvel e ao acesso prontamente disponível à Internet, os trabalhadores remotos já são comuns. Os funcionários não precisarão estar no mesmo local. Isto tornará mais fácil para a próxima geração de trabalhadores escolher viver em qualquer lugar, em vez de encontrar um emprego e depois mudar-se para uma cidade com esse emprego.
5º PARÁGRAFO [45-53]:
People will need something more than a paycheck as a motivation to work. Many want to work for an organization with a mission and purpose they believe in. They will also want different incentives such as personal development opportunities, the latest tech gadgets to facilitate their work-from-anywhere ambitions, and more.
As pessoas precisarão de algo mais do que um contracheque como motivação para trabalhar. Muitos desejam trabalhar para uma organização com uma missão e um propósito em que acreditam. Também desejarão incentivos diferentes, como oportunidades de desenvolvimento pessoal, os mais recentes dispositivos tecnológicos para facilitar as suas ambições de trabalhar a partir de qualquer lugar e muito mais.
6º PARÁGRAFO [54-60]:
Not only will employees want to learn throughout their career, but they will also need to learn new skills. Technology will continue to evolve the role humans play in the workforce, so everyone will be required to adapt their skills throughout their working lives.
Os funcionários não apenas desejarão aprender ao longo de sua carreira, mas também precisarão aprender novas habilidades. A tecnologia continuará a evoluir o papel que os humanos desempenham na força de trabalho, pelo que todos serão obrigados a adaptar as suas competências ao longo da sua vida profissional.
7º PARÁGRAFO [61-67]:
Artificial intelligence algorithms and intelligent machines will be coworkers to humans. The human workforce will need to develop a level of comfort and acceptance for how man and machine can collaborate using the best that both bring to the workplace.
Algoritmos de inteligência artificial e máquinas inteligentes serão colegas de trabalho dos humanos. A força de trabalho humana terá de desenvolver um nível de conforto e aceitação de como o homem e a máquina podem colaborar utilizando o melhor que ambos trazem para o local de trabalho.
8º PARÁGRAFO [68-78]:
Even though we can’t predict all the changes that will occur in the future, we do have a fair amount of certainty that there are some things people can do to prepare for it. Rather than succumb to the doomsday predictions that “robots will take over all the jobs,” a more optimistic outlook is one where humans get the opportunity to do work that demands their creativity, imagination, social and emotional intelligence, and passion.
Embora não possamos prever todas as mudanças que ocorrerão no futuro, temos bastante certeza de que há algumas coisas que as pessoas podem fazer para se preparar para isso. Em vez de sucumbir às previsões apocalípticas de que “os robôs assumirão todos os empregos”, uma perspectiva mais optimista é aquela em que os humanos têm a oportunidade de realizar trabalhos que exigem a sua criatividade, imaginação, inteligência social e emocional e paixão.
9º PARÁGRAFO [79-87]:
Individuals will need to act and engage in lifelong learning, so they are adaptable when the changes happen. The lifespan for any given skill set is shrinking, so it will be imperative for individuals to continue to invest in acquiring new skills. The shift to lifelong learning needs to happen now because the changes are already happening.
Os indivíduos terão de agir e participar na aprendizagem ao longo da vida, para que sejam adaptáveis quando as mudanças acontecerem. A vida útil de qualquer conjunto de competências está a diminuir, pelo que será imperativo que os indivíduos continuem a investir na aquisição de novas competências. A mudança para a aprendizagem ao longo da vida precisa de acontecer agora porque as mudanças já estão a acontecer.
10º PARÁGRAFO [88-95]:
In addition, employees will need to shape their own career path. Gone are the days when a career trajectory is outlined at one company with predictable climbs up the corporate ladder. Therefore, employees should pursue a diverse set of work experiences and take the initiative to shape their own career paths.
Além disso, os funcionários precisarão definir seu próprio plano de carreira. Já se foi o tempo em que uma trajetória de carreira era delineada em uma empresa com subidas previsíveis na hierarquia corporativa. Portanto, os funcionários devem buscar um conjunto diversificado de experiências de trabalho e tomar a iniciativa de moldar seus próprios planos de carreira.
11º PARÁGRAFO [96-103]:
Individuals will need to step into the opportunity that pursuing your passion provides rather than shrink back to what had resulted in success in the past. This shift in work opens the possibility to achieve more of our potential. We need to begin to think of work as more than a paycheck.
As pessoas precisarão aproveitar a oportunidade que a busca por sua paixão oferece, em vez de recuar para o que resultou em sucesso no passado. Esta mudança no trabalho abre a possibilidade de alcançarmos mais do nosso potencial. Precisamos começar a pensar no trabalho como mais do que um salário.
12º PARÁGRAFO [104-111]:
Employers need to think differently about how they recruit and hire new employees. Companies need to review a prospective employee’s potential and assess skills that are less likely to be automated any time soon, including emotional intelligence, critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills.
Os empregadores precisam pensar de forma diferente sobre como recrutam e contratam novos funcionários. As empresas precisam de rever o potencial de um potencial funcionário e avaliar as competências que têm menos probabilidades de serem automatizadas em breve, incluindo inteligência emocional, pensamento crítico, criatividade e competências de resolução de problemas.
13º PARÁGRAFO [112-120]:
Another way employers will need to adjust operations is to create a structure and culture that honors lifelong learning, and that celebrates creativity. It's time for employers to assess their benefit and incentive programs to ensure they are providing the motivation the next generation of employees will want in order to attract the best talent.
Outra forma pela qual os empregadores terão de ajustar as operações é criar uma estrutura e uma cultura que honrem a aprendizagem ao longo da vida e que celebrem a criatividade. Chegou a hora de os empregadores avaliarem os seus programas de benefícios e incentivos para garantir que estão a proporcionar a motivação que a próxima geração de funcionários desejará para atrair os melhores talentos.
14º PARÁGRAFO [121-127]:
While nothing is certain, it's important for every human to begin taking steps in the direction to prepare for a future where machines become colleagues. If we don't begin to adapt to the changes today, it will be challenging to catch up later.
Embora nada seja certo, é importante que cada ser humano comece a tomar medidas no sentido de se preparar para um futuro onde as máquinas se tornarão colegas. Se não começarmos a nos adaptar às mudanças hoje, será um desafio recuperar o atraso mais tarde.

- In the 1st sentence: “They will also want different incentives…”
- The direct object answers the questions What? or Who?
- What will they also want?  The answer is "different incentives".
"different incentives", it is a direct object.
- In the 2nd sentence: “Therefore, employees should pursue a diverse set of work experiences…”
- Who is the subject? The answer is "employees".
What is the main verb? The main verb is "pursue".
- What should they pursue? The answer is "a diverse set of work experiences".
- So "a diverse set of work experiences", it is a direct object.

:
*Alternative (A): subordinating conjunction.
*Alternative (B): preposition.
*Alternative (C): coordinating conjunction.
*Alternative (D): adverb.
 EXPLANATION & COMMENTS:
- The sentence is: “Not only will employees want to learn throughout their career, BUT they will also need to learn new skills.” (Os funcionários não irão apenas querer aprender ao longo de sua carreira, mas também precisarão aprender novas habilidades.)
NOT ONLY…BUT ALSO, it is correlative conjunction. This pair of conjunction is used when THE TWO SENTENCES are different from each other, but both of them are true. 
- So in this case, the word BUT is not a coordinating conjunction. BUT is an integral part of the correlative conjunction NOT ONLY ... BUT ALSO.
- So, in my view, the question 16 should be set aside.

I Used to Fear Being a Nobody. Then I Left Social Media.

By Bianca Brooks

“What’s happening?”

I stare blankly at the little box as I try to think of something clever for my first tweet. I settle on what’s at the top of my mind: “My only #fear is being a nobody.” How could I know this exchange would begin a dialogue that would continue nearly every day for the next nine years of my life?

I began using Twitter in 2010 as a newly minted high school freshman. Though it began as a hub for my quirky adolescent thoughts, over the years it became an archive of my emotional and intellectual voice — a kind of virtual display for the evolution of my politics and artistic identity. But after nine years, it was time to close the archive. My wanting to share my every waking thought became eclipsed by a desire for an increasingly rare commodity — a private life.

Though I thought disappearing from social media would be as simple as logging off, my refusal to post anything caused a bit of a stir among my small but loyal following. I began to receive emails from strangers asking me where I had gone and when I would return. One message read: “Not to be over familiar, but you have to come back eventually. You’re a writer after all. How will we read your writing?” Another follower inquired, “Where will you go?”

The truth is I have not gone anywhere. I am, in fact, more present than ever.

Over time, I have begun to sense these messages reveal more than a lack of respect for privacy. I realize that to many millennials, a life without a social media presence is not simply a private life; it is no life at all: We possess a widespread, genuine fear of obscurity.

When I consider the near-decade I have spent on social media, this worry makes sense. As with many in my generation, Twitter was my entry into conversations happening on a global scale; long before my byline graced any publication, tweeting was how I felt a part of the world. Twitter functions much like an echo chamber dependent on likes and retweets, and gaining notoriety is as easy as finding someone to agree with you. For years I poured my opinions, musings and outrage onto my timeline, believing I held an indispensable place in a vital sociopolitical experiment.

But these passionate, public observations were born of more than just a desire to speak my mind — I was measuring my individual worth in constant visibility. Implicit in my follower’s question “Where will you go?” is the resounding question “How will we know where you’ve gone?” Privacy is considered a small exchange for the security of being well known and well liked.

After all, a private life boasts no location markers or story updates. The idea that the happenings of our lives would be constrained to our immediate families, friends and real-life communities is akin to social death in a world measured by followers, views, likes and shares.

I grow weary when I think of this as the new normal for what is considered to be a fruitful personal life. Social media is no longer a mere public extension of our private socialization; it has become a replacement for it. What happens to our humanity when we relegate our real lives to props for the performance of our virtual ones?

For one, a predominantly online existence can lull us into a dubious sense of having enacted concrete change, simply because of a tweet or Instagram post. As “hashtag activism” has obscured longstanding traditions of assembly and protest, there’s concern that a failure to transition from the keyboard to in-person organization will effectively stall or kill the momentum of political movements. (See: Occupy Wall Street.)

The sanctity of our most intimate experiences is also diminished. My grandfather Charles Shaw — a notable musician whose wisdoms and jazz scene tales I often shared on Twitter — passed away last year. Rather than take adequate time to privately mourn the loss of his giant influence in my life alongside those who loved him most, I quickly posted a lengthy tribute to him to my followers. At the time I thought, “How will they remember him if I don’t acknowledge his passing?”

Perhaps at the root of this anxiety over being forgotten is an urgent question of how one ought to form a legacy; with the rise of automation, a widening wealth gap and an unstable political climate, it is easy to feel unimportant. It is almost as if the world is too big and we are much too small to excel in it in any meaningful way. We feel we need as many people as possible to witness our lives, so as not to be left out of a story that is being written too fast by people much more significant than ourselves.

“The secret of a full life is to live and relate to others as if they might not be there tomorrow, as if you might not be there tomorrow,” the writer Anais Nin said. “This feeling has become a rarity, and rarer every day now that we have reached a hastier and more superficial rhythm, now that we believe we are in touch with a greater amount of people. This is the illusion which might cheat us of being in touch deeply with the one breathing next to us.”

I think of those words and at once any fear of obscurity is eclipsed by much deeper ones — the fear of forgoing the sacred moments of life, of never learning to be completely alone, of not bearing witness to the incredible lives of those who surround me.

I observe the world around me. It is big and moving fast. “What’s happening?” I think to myself.

I’m just beginning to find out.
