As Neil mentioned, I also think Floraine’s blog entries have been very insightful, and have helped me understand mobility from another perspective. She mentioned the transfer from the physical world to a more digital world which I think is the way we’re heading. Here’s a great video I found on one of the other blogs about gaming that shows human design development:

Niel also picked up on a lot of good points, as well as how banks are trying to reduce staff to so that more can be done online. This got me thinking- What will happen to the more physical jobs, will they be replaced by more virtual/ computer jobs?
When I think of a physical job , the bus comes to mind, as it’s a very old fashioned way of travel which may in the future be replaced. We as a society are striving towards a more efficient, faster and cheaper transport; if you look at canals they are not used as a method of transport anymore, but more of a social place.
The poster shows how the council are advertising the canal, as a place to socialise, look how much it’s changed from its original purpose.
This may mean that our transport systems we know of today (i.e. buses, trains), may become obsolete and replaced with newer technology that is more efficient. Does this mean that jobs linked to physical travel will reduce (e.g. Buses becoming obsolete and replaced with newer technology)? But then does this mean we may have an increase in virtual jobs (e.g. computing, programming etc.)? I believe the end of this digital revolution is limitless...
