Theo Priestley argues that the future of work should be informed by the younger generation, specifically children, rather than millennials. He shares insights from a project where he asked primary school children about their vision for the future workplace. The children envisioned practical and innovative solutions such as AI for productivity, multi-purpose work surfaces, renewable energy sources, and ambient biometrics for security. They also emphasized the importance of emotional connections to their work environment and the ability to collaborate remotely. Priestley concludes that to address the shortage of tech talent, we should focus on nurturing the creativity and technological curiosity of children, who are already engaging with advanced concepts through play and learning.
