Uncovering and explaining how our digital world is changing — and changing us.

If you think school is done when you graduate, Jeff Maggioncalda has another view: People will have to learn for the rest of their lives to keep up with changing technology that will displace workers.

“The bad news is there will be a lot of jobs that go away. Traditional skills will be less valuable and people will be dislocated,” said Maggioncalda, the CEO of online learning company Coursera.

The good news, he said, is “there will be a lot of opportunities and technology is making it possible. And — with no hyperbole here — technology is making it possible for anyone to get the best education in the world.”

Maggioncalda’s comments were made as a special guest at the first Recode and MSNBC town hall event for the series “Revolution”; it aired Sunday night on the cable network, focused on examining tech’s impact on the future of work over the next year. The event with Google CEO Sundar Pichai and YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki was taped recently in San Francisco.
