This time around, our class had attend a webinar talk through Webex on the topic Industrial Revolution 4.0. The talk was conducted by Mr. Nik Kamal Izuddin bin Nik Ibrahim as the moderator with our honorable guest who was Mr. Redzuan Shah bin Yusoff. He is the director for Southern Strategic Economic Region under Telekom Malaysia.
The first half of talk was filled with the explanation and chronological events of industrial revolution. This personally gives me a wider and clear view about each phases as well as their contribution. After that, he gave a brief explanation regarding education and electronic commerce 4.0. This section was meant to show how much was the current world's progress and how we as the younger generation can contribute and improvise what we have nowadays.
Based Mr.Redzuan's experience, he also found out there will a lot of potential new job that was related to IT. Some of them were drone inventor, 3D modelling technician and computer vision engineer. Most recent companies have also implemented artificial intelligence which somehow has become a great aid in terms of modelling and debugging a program. The talk ended with some words of encouragement from Mr.Redzuan. He mentioned that it is important for us especially as the students to explore and learn new things within our course.
SUMMARY
The best that I learned from Mr.Redzuan is how passionate he was in his career. Personally, I rarely see people who work because of passion as most of them prefer a stable income and gaining high salary. Hence, I believe that it is important for one to instill interest in what they are doing so that they can remain and stick to their task within long term. Moreover, I also learn that the future that uphold the job vacancies will mostly required people to handle machines and robots. Due to this, I realized that I need to prepare mentally and physically on current challenges especially during COVID-19 pandemic. This is because we never know when the pandemic is going to end and how it will affect the future. Hence, through the early preparation, I can at least prove myself to be the best among all and not missing any of the opportunities given. To conclude, Industrial Revolution 4.0 do improve our lifestyles and things get tougher in terms of searching for a stable occupation.
