Visualising the digital transformation of work

A quick internet search on this topic will usually produce images of smiling, or perplexed, people looking into a computer. Often these people are surrounded by an array of intimidating holograms associated with spatial computing that barely yet exist in our real working lives. In many cases, images of a white, male hand – one finger extended – meets the elegant finger of a white, humanoid robot. But this is not what really happens at work. We know that visualising the future is hard, because we've used some of these images at the Digit Centre ourselves in the past.
