Pekerjaan kita yang rule-based, monoton, rutinitas dan jarang-ubah 
lama-kelamaan akan banyak sekali tergantikan oleh komputer dan robot. 

Seperti Teknik Sipil yang perhitungan strukturalnya dapat digantikan oleh 
software SAP dan ETABS. Kemudian Matematika, yang nyaris semua perhitungan 
berikut step-by-stepnya dapat digantikan commercial-ware Mathematica Wolfram 
maupun software gratisan Maxima. Bisa ditebak, kesemuanya ini adalah pekerjaan 
'otak kiri': teknis, analitis, mekanis, sistematis, logis, matematis, sinis, 
dogmatis, prejudis, dan membosankanis. :)

Oh ya, nampaknya textbook dan jurnal yang 'kekiri-kirian' tetap perlu karena 
dari sumber inilah insinyur komputer dan robotik bisa mengimplementasikan 
rule-nya.

Ini sebenarnya sekalian untuk mengatakan bahwa *spesies khusus* bernama 
*insinyur komputer* tetap esensial selama belum ada 'program yang bisa membuat 
program' (yang kalaupun ada pasti percuma -- IYKWIM :)) atau entitas apapun 
yang lulus (dan 'lolos':)) Turing Test. Ilmuwan/researcher yang bikin jurnal 
(sumber primer) dan textbook (sumber sekunder) juga masih diperlukan. Tapi, 
insinyurnya? Nehi, nehi! -- kata Kajol dan Amisha Patel. :)

Jadi, pekerjaan apa yang masih 'nyisa'? Mungkin dari judul buku Daniel Pink 
tahun 2005 bisa diprediksi: "A Whole New Mind: Why Right-Brainers Will Rule the 
Future"

Berikut summary buku tsb.:

Publisher's Summary

Lawyers. Accountants. Software Engineers. That's what Mom and Dad encouraged us 
to become. They were wrong. Gone is the age of "left-brain" dominance. The 
future belongs to a different kind of person with a different kind of mind: 
designers, inventors, teachers, storytellers - creative and emphatic 
"right-brain" thinkers whose abilities mark the fault line between who gets 
ahead and who doesn't.

Drawing on research from around the advanced world, Daniel Pink outlines six 
fundamentally human abilities that are essential for professional success and 
personal fulfillment - and reveals how to master them.

From a laughter club in Bombay to an inner-city high school devoted to design, 
to a lesson on how to detect an insincere smile, A Whole New Mind takes 
listeners to a daring new place, and offers a provocative and urgent new way of 
thinking about a future that has already arrived.
