In Episode 3 of The Investors Centre Podcast, Isiah examines the three biggest technological disruptions in modern history — the Industrial Revolution, the personal computer, and artificial intelligence — and reveals the pattern that connects all three.
You'll learn:
→ How skilled weavers in 1800s Britain saw their wages halve in a single generation — and what happened to the workers who fought back
→ Why the personal computer destroyed millions of jobs but created 15.8 million net new ones in America alone
→ The data showing AI reached 39% adoption in just two years — a milestone that took the internet five years and the PC nearly twelve
→ How UK job adverts in AI-exposed occupations fell 38% between 2022 and 2025
→ Why the World Economic Forum projects a net gain of 78 million jobs globally by 2030
→ The surprising finding that AI may actually narrow the wage gap by lifting lower performers
→ Why creative thinking, leadership and adaptability are among the fastest growing skills for 2030
