Google chief sees continuous learning as key to overcoming 'disruption anxiety'

Worried about the impact technology is having on your job? Stay curious and keep learning. That, in essence, is the message delivered by Google's country director for Canada, Sabrina Geremia, to participants on the last day of the C2 Montreal conference. "Disruption anxiety is in every single field," Geremia said Friday during an exchange with Jui Ramaprasad, a professor of information systems at McGill University. "Part of the anxiety is rooted in the pace of change. Right now, your life is the slowest it's ever going to be." Google's own statistics provide insights into the increasing speed of change.
