    Lawyers could be the next profession to be replaced by computers
        Technology is often blamed for destroying traditional working-class jobs in sectors like manufacturing and retail. But blue collar jobs aren't the only ones at risk on an imminent future: white collar jobs are going to be affected by technology as well.
        The legal profession is on the cusp of a transformation in which artificial-intelligence (AI) platforms might dramatically affect how legal work gets done. Those platforms will mine documents for evidence that will be useful in litigation, to review and create contracts, raise red flags within companies to identify potential fraud and other misconduct or do legal research and perform due diligence before corporate acquisitions. Those are all tasks that — for the moment at least — are largely the responsibility of flesh-and-blood attorneys.
        Increasing automation of the legal industry promises to increase efficiency and save client’s money, but could also cut jobs in the sector as the technology becomes responsible for tasks currently performed by humans.
        Advocates of AI, however, argue there could actually be an increase in the sector's labor force as the technology drives costs down and makes legal services more affordable to greater numbers of people. It's like the beginning for a future changing in legal profession with AI-powered platform which can perform almost all mechanical work such as creating a new contract or reviewing it for clients and companies.

    What machines do better than people
        One question raised by the introduction of AI legal platforms is how well they do their jobs compared to a flesh-and-blood lawyer, who has years of experience under his belt. Supporters of this new technology defend that AI platform can search documents for relevant information to lawsuits and other litigation as well as experienced lawyers. Here are some of AI advantages:
        Keywords: human beings are not very good at keyword searches. There's a fallacy that human beings looking at documents is the gold standard which cannot be, because human may miss things.
        Database: the explosion in the amount of electronic data generated today makes it hard for human workers to keep up. This so much more data nowadays need these technologies find relevant material for lawyers. Also the AI could not just look at the text of a document or email, it can look at the tone of the conversation, who sent it, to check if the item should be flagged for review in litigation.
        Restless: computers don't get tired, they don't get hungry, they don't sleep in and all of the things that are biological problems that can happen to a human being can't happen to computers.
        An example of this technology is ROSS - it is a legal research platform based on IBM's cognitive computing system Watson. This technology is being used by a number of law firms, which state that the legal sector has being changing along the years. Firms, particularly larger ones, begin to see the advantage of AI, and their legal future possibly will completely change, with lawyers working from office, home office and other possibilities.

    The Power of Pictures
    by Vickie An

    In February, the group took a photography field trip to Haiti’s La Visite national park. A student holds up a lizard as her classmates snap away.
    It’s said that a picture is worth a thousand words. Conservation photographer Robin Moore believes this. He especially believes that the stories photographs can tell about the environment can inspire people to care for the earth. “It doesn’t matter what language you speak or what culture you come from, because a photo can speak to everyone,” Moore says.
    That’s the idea behind Frame of Mind. Moore cofounded the organization last year with environmental educator Deanna Del Vecchio and fellow nature photographer Neil Ever Osborne. The group is on a mission to help young people around the world connect with nature through photography workshops.
    In August 2011, Frame of Mind hosted its very first workshop with 20 youth journalists in Jacmel, Haiti. The workshop was held in partnership with Conservation International and Panos Caribbean. Each student was given a digital camera to use for the week and was taught how to use it. During the session, the kids learned about the local environment and how it relates to their lives.

    HEALTH
    PEOPLE WITH A SENSE OF PURPOSE LIVE LONGER,
    STUDY SUGGESTS
    BY KASHMIRA GANDER ON 5/24/19 AT 11:10 AM EDT

    People who have a sense of purpose in life appear to live longer, according to the  latest research linking this outlook to a person’s quality of life and to better physical and mental health. 
    The authors of the study published in the journal JAMA Network Open  looked at data collected from 6,985 adults who were signed up to the Health and Retirement Study on people ages 50 and above in the US. The team looked at a group who completed a questionnaire in 2006 about their purpose in life, and used it to come up with a score. On average, the participants were 68.6 years old. Next, the scientists looked at causes of death in the group between 2006 and 2010. Variables included their demographic, marital status, race  and education level. Lifestyle choices like smoking and drinking were also noted.
    Purpose was defined by the authors as a selforganizing life aim that stimulates goals,  promotes healthy behaviors and gives meaning to life.
    The data revealed that the stronger the participants felt they had a purpose in life, the lower their risk of dying. This result remained even when the scientists adjusted their calculations for factors that could affect their score, such as a participants’ sociodemographic status and their health.
    But scientists don’t know why there seems to be a link between purposefulness and the length of life. One explanation is that the attitude and overall wellbeing could prevent genes linked with inflammation from being expressed in the body. Meanwhile, lacking a purpose could dampen a person’s motivation to be healthy and active, the authors suggested.
    Andrew Oswald, a professor of economics and behavioral science at the University of Warwick, in the U.K., who studies human happiness, told Newsweek: “It is as though the mind and body can draw on a pool of immune responses, and a healthy mind allows the body more immune response, in some way that we simply do not understand in 2019. Remarkably, a number of studies seem to show that happy people and people with a sense of purpose live longer.

    HEALTH
    PEOPLE WITH A SENSE OF PURPOSE LIVE LONGER,
    STUDY SUGGESTS
    BY KASHMIRA GANDER ON 5/24/19 AT 11:10 AM EDT

    People who have a sense of purpose in life appear to live longer, according to the  latest research linking this outlook to a person’s quality of life and to better physical and mental health. 
    The authors of the study published in the journal JAMA Network Open  looked at data collected from 6,985 adults who were signed up to the Health and Retirement Study on people ages 50 and above in the US. The team looked at a group who completed a questionnaire in 2006 about their purpose in life, and used it to come up with a score. On average, the participants were 68.6 years old. Next, the scientists looked at causes of death in the group between 2006 and 2010. Variables included their demographic, marital status, race  and education level. Lifestyle choices like smoking and drinking were also noted.
    Purpose was defined by the authors as a selforganizing life aim that stimulates goals,  promotes healthy behaviors and gives meaning to life.
    The data revealed that the stronger the participants felt they had a purpose in life, the lower their risk of dying. This result remained even when the scientists adjusted their calculations for factors that could affect their score, such as a participants’ sociodemographic status and their health.
    But scientists don’t know why there seems to be a link between purposefulness and the length of life. One explanation is that the attitude and overall wellbeing could prevent genes linked with inflammation from being expressed in the body. Meanwhile, lacking a purpose could dampen a person’s motivation to be healthy and active, the authors suggested.
    Andrew Oswald, a professor of economics and behavioral science at the University of Warwick, in the U.K., who studies human happiness, told Newsweek: “It is as though the mind and body can draw on a pool of immune responses, and a healthy mind allows the body more immune response, in some way that we simply do not understand in 2019.

    Inglês

    Alguém ainda duvida de que vivemos na era da informação? Exemplo: estou em Lisboa, publicando isto num site americano que pode ter o seu servidor colocado em qualquer parte do mundo e, a partir do momento em que o texto é publicado, fica acessível a qualquer pessoa em praticamente qualquer parte do mundo.

    Esta facilidade na divulgação da informação, esta democratização da informação acarreta e acarretará muitas mudanças no cenário mundial onde entra também a tão falada globalização. O comentarista de política internacional, Thomas L. Friedman, no seu livro mais recente, O Mundo é Plano, mostra os indícios que provam que o nosso mundo está a tornar-se mais plano a cada dia e menciona dez acontecimentos que contribuíram para que o mundo se tornasse plano. Eles são:

    1 - 9/11/1989 - Quando se derrubaram muros e edificaram janelas Cai o muro de Berlim e aumenta a distribuição de informação. Começa uma uniformização corporativa, a partir da democratização da informação. Logo depois surge o Windows, permitindo que as pessoas interajam melhor com o PC, aumentando o número de aplicações criadas e aumentando a produtividade empresarial e pessoal.

    2 - 9/9/1995 - Quando a Netscape se torna pública Abrem-se as portas para a massificação da Internet. O Netscape torna a Internet acessível a todos e ajuda a garantir que os protocolos já existentes (HTTP, FTP, TCP/IP, POP e outros) não sejam monopolizados pela Microsoft ou por outra grande corporação. Surgiu também a bolha das dotcom quando muitas empresas começaram a explorar a necessidade de comunicação e distribuir quilômetros de fibra ótica pelo mundo. Depois do estouro da bolha estas fibras foram vendidas muito barato o que facilitou e barateou a comunicação mundial.

    3 - Software de sistematização dos fluxos de trabalho - Vamos almoçar: faça com que a sua aplicação “fale” com a minha aplicação

    É uma revolução silenciosa que permite que as aplicações se comuniquem entre si contribuindo ainda mais para que o mundo se torne plano. Uma plataforma global foi criada, em vez de tentar-se manipular o formato das aplicações acabou-se por permitir que elas se entendessem entre si.

    Estes três primeiros acontecimentos criaram uma plataforma poderosa que planificou o mundo, permitindo que todos se comunicassem. Os seis acontecimentos seguintes representam novas formas de colaboração que fazem uso desta plataforma.

    4 -  Open-Sourcing - Comunidades cooperantes auto-organizadas No open-sourcing ferramentas são desenvolvidas por várias pessoas e ninguém é proprietário da ferramenta. Temos como exemplo o Apache, que é usado por dois terços dos servidores de Internet actualmente e está em constante evolução por ser open source. Enquanto nos softwares comerciais o código fonte é guardado a sete chaves, nos softwares open source o código está à disponibilidade de quem quiser, permitindo que erros sejam detectados e corrigidos rapidamente e permitindo que o software seja melhorado por qualquer um. O open source disponibiliza gratuitamente muitas ferramentas e desafia as estruturas hierárquicas com um modelo horizontal de inovação. Outros exemplos, além do Apache, são o Linux, o Gimp, a Wikipédia, o Mozilla, entre outros.

    5 -  Outsourcing - Y2K

    Com o famoso bug do milênio, muitas empresas americanas contrataram mão de obra mais barata, na Índia, para fazer o trabalho aborrecido de melhor alterar o ano nas datas de dois dígitos para quatro. Graças aos três primeiros acontecimentos mencionados, era possível enviar os programas para serem alterados na própria Índia, o que tornava o processo mais barato. Depois de resolvido o problema, o barateamento das comunicações permitiu que esta solução fosse adotada em outras situações, o que tornou a Índia, por exemplo, um grande celeiro de massa cinzenta para os EUA.

    6 -  Offshoring - Correndo com as gazelas, comendo com os leões
     A entrada da China na OMC permitiu que muitas empresas tivessem produtos fabricados lá por um preço baixíssimo, barateando os custos de produção e consequentemente aumentando lucros empresariais e reduzindo preços.

    7 -  Encadeamento de Abastecimento - Comer Sushi no Arkansas A automação da comunicação entre as empresas foi facilitada quando o mundo começou a tornar-se plano, o que possibilita que as empresas se comuniquem entre si, aumentando a qualidade do serviço oferecido, diminuindo preços e facilitando a distribuição das mercadorias. Temos como exemplo  a empresa americana Wal-Mart que controla o seu estoque diretamente com o fornecedor, conforme as mercadorias vão sendo vendidas o fornecedor vai adaptando a sua produção e distribuição.

    8 - Insourcing - o que andam a fazer, na realidade, aqueles indivíduos de calções castanhos engraçados
    Insourcing é quando uma empresa contrata outra, melhor capacitada, para prestar um serviço necessário. Por exemplo, se você tem um portátil Toshiba, dentro do prazo de garantia, que se avariou, a Toshiba lhe dará instruções para deixar o mesmo numa loja da UPS para que seja reparado. Antigamente a UPS transportava o portátil até uma autorizada da Toshiba para que o mesmo fosse reparado para acelerar o processo; atualmente é a própria UPS que conserta o portátil e o devolve. Outro exemplo, a Nike prefere investir na concepção de tênis, não em cadeias de abastecimento, então melhorou o seu serviço ao contratar alguém com o know-how e a estrutura necessária para fazer a distribuição. Outro detalhe, a UPS fornece serviço para todo tipo de empresa e tenta adequar os preços permitindo que empresas menores tenham a mesma qualidade de serviço das grandes, favorecendo ainda mais a planificação do mundo ao democratizar as oportunidades.

    9 - In-Forming - Motores de busca Google, Yahoo! e MSN.

    A informação ao alcance de todo o mundo, basta pesquisar na rede. Tente lembrar como era antigamente, quando não existia a Internet, por exemplo, era preciso ir-se às bibliotecas a procura de informações e, às vezes, era preciso um pouco de sorte para se encontrar rapidamente o que desejava, ou ter a sorte de a publicação pretendida estar disponível.

    10 -  Os Esteróides - Digitais, Móveis, Pessoais e Virtuais.

    As comunicações sem fios, os telefones celulares, iPods, PDAs e outras ferramentas do mesmo estilo nos mantêm em contato com o mundo e com todos o tempo inteiro. O celular deixa de ser, a cada, um simples telefone para incorporar novas funções e características. No Japão, os jovens utilizam o PC no escritório e os celulares e apóiam o estilo de vida pessoal no celular. A informação disponível aos jovens japoneses, através da Internet nos celulares, é tão grande que mal tenham uma dúvida, a primeira coisa que fazem é buscar a resposta pelo telefone. Imagine a seguinte situação, o telefone tem um scan de códigos de barra e você está andando pela rua e vê um pôster anunciando um show da Madonna, você passa o scan pelo código e o bilhete é comprado. Outro pôster anuncia o novo CD da Madonna, você passa o scan e recebe no telefone amostras das músicas do CD, se gostar, passa o scan de novo e compra o CD que será entrega na sua casa, ou terá as músicas disponibilizadas para o telefone.

       Enfim, muitas alterações já ocorreram e ainda há muitas para ocorrer. Há muito espaço para a criatividade porque ainda há muita inovação a ser explorada.  

      Apresentei um resumo muito resumido das ideias todas só para dar uma noção das ideias principais.

    Continuo a ler o livro, agora ele analisa as alterações no mercado de trabalho já que não estaremos mais restritos a barreiras físicas e geográficas, permitindo que os empregos se tornem mais concorridos.
