Most Kenyan youth do not have skills for the 'present' job market.

And technology is already rendering some jobs obsolete. Kama kuuza gazeti.

But with increased usage of interactive content it will be easier to offer training to these youth. But what should they be trained in?

Can you come up with jobs of the future and with brief descriptions?

No skill means 'clean slate' and may be a blessing. We are facing the challenge of changing our economic systems and all that is required is stretching our imagination.

For example, since more people will have smart phones, shouldn't we think of ways that these tools can help in production processes?

Do you think cottage industry can survive in such an environment?

They are now working on 3D printers that print
copies of themselves.

If 3D printers could recycle old plastic and metallic materials then that would be a game changer.

The hottest job in the near future is a data scientist. I still believe we're in the information age not knowledge age/society. Data scientists are people who transform and translate information into usable and productive knowledge.

Even without recycling. Imagine these which are already happening:
1. A women gets her jawbone printed and transplanted successfully;and
2. A guy prints a working gun and another embarks on a project to enable people to easily and cheaply print guns (last I heard the 3D printer he was to lease to run the project was withdrawn by the owner citing his lack of permit to manufacture guns).

And then there are scientists talking of printing body organs!

Elder i agree with you its a marvelous technology except for the guns. There are those that even print cement houses and with a 3D printer you can print your own SPARE PARTS! But the best application I've seen for 3D printers is in classrooms. Imagine in class,a teacher printing examples of objects the children see in books. The reason I'm waiting for them to recycle is because it means you can essentially stop buying things.You will only buy plans that will be sent to your printer.
