# Inspiration

The field that you are entering is an exciting one that is rapidly changing. We are connected with many exponential technologies. Many of the jobs that you will have do not exist currently. Some of the technologies that you will be using in your jobs are not commercially available yet. The world is changing. You are going to be able to contribute directly to how it changes.

# Videos to make you think about the current and future state of technology

They say that medicine, engineering, technology, psychology, design, computer science, chemistry, biology and many other fields advanced by the same amount between 2000 and 2014 as they did between 1900 and 2000. The current estimates are for that same amount of growth to take place between 2014 and 2021.

The change is exponential. The career that you are embarking on is one of constant change and constant learning. The number of areas of specialization is also increasing. Many of our graduates get jobs where they are the expert in some aspect of web and mobile technology. They become the person who advises others about new and creative ways to apply what they have learned.

Here is a list of videos that I have compiled over the last number of years just to make you think about possibilities of what could be happening tomorrow or in a couple years.

Watch them as you have time and when you need some inspiration.

Remember

Coding is a creative pursuit

Everything is connected

Surround yourself with people who have different skills and strengths than yourself
