But why does his prediction matter?
- Back in 1997, Hoffman anticipated the rise of social media
- he bet on shared economy (invested early in Airbnb) and
- predicted AI revolution much before ChatGPT emerged
He seems to have a spooky ability to see the future.
And now he says most people will work in the gig economy rather than the traditional 9-5 by 2034.
Specialized skills + global demand = premium rates.
So, your digital footprint will become your most valuable asset.
Forget resumes. Companies will hire based on proven work, not degrees or job titles.
I can attest to it as building my presence on LinkedIn has gotten me numerous work opportunities.
So, no matter how much you hate social media or content creation, having a digital presence is non-negotiable in today's time.
The sooner you accept it the better.
