\"Session1_ProgressEnigma\"As we assembled TED2013′s lineup of speakers from around the world, talked with the TED brain trust, and listened to online conversations, one theme emerged: What is the future of work? Technology and new business practices are, in many ways, putting an end to the classic “good job,” the kind that millions of people once moved to Detroit and cities around the world to get. In this session, we’ll hear from a roboticist, a politician … and two economists who do not agree on where we’re headed. This session, starting at 11am EST, will prove a fascinating look at where we go from here.<\/p>\n

In this session:<\/p>\n

A former two-term governor of Michigan, Jennifer Granholm<\/a> makes the case for empowering states to create jobs through a Clean Energy Jobs Race to the Top.<\/p>\n

Robert J. Gordon<\/a> is among the most influential macroeconomists in the world. And the big picture he sees is not altogether rosy.<\/p>\n

Erik Brynjolfsson<\/a> examines the effects of information technologies on business strategy, productivity and employment.<\/p>\n

Born in Havana, Cuba, Pedrito Martinez<\/a>\u00a0spent his youth steeped in rumba and the music of the Santer\u00eda religion. His music had become an intoxicating blend of Cuban tradition and African-American styles.<\/p>\n

Rodney Brooks<\/a> builds robots based on biological principles of movement and reasoning. The goal: a robot who can figure things out. Get ready to meet Baxter.<\/p>\n

The founder and CEO of Romotive,\u00a0Keller Rinaudo<\/a> creates robots that use smart phones and are designed for interaction.<\/p>\n

Nilofer Merchant<\/a> thinks deeply about the frameworks, strategies and cultural values of great businesses new and old, large and small.<\/p>\n

Bono<\/a>, the lead singer of U2, uses his celebrity to fight for social justice worldwide: to end hunger, poverty and disease, especially in Africa. His nonprofit ONE raises awareness via media, policy and calls to action.<\/p>\n
