· The video is about prediction of what the future may hold as far as the economy and jobs, based on the current technological state. There were examples of the Tech we have now, anecdotes about both past and present major economic figures, and the life of two different "working-class" men's lives over time. The question of what happens if we depend on machines in the future was answered simply by stating that we will have fewer needs for certain jobs. I feel that the video was a good way to learn about what the future could be. Andrew McAfee had a very confident delivery, using some slight humor to keep the audience entertained, as well as the use of examples to help explain what he was saying.
