Welcome to BareTalk TV, I'm Dunia Tozy and today we're talking about technology
and well-being. So there's a study that was published by a company called Aruba,
saying that digital workplaces or people employees who work for digital
workplaces are happier, more satisfied, and they're more productive and is
better for their well-being. So what do you guys think about that? -
I can totally agree. - Can we define digital workplace first though? Because I
have so many things floating through my head when you talk about digital
workplace. - So I guess you have more gadgets that help you be more productive
so you know computers or whatever else that you know that helps you, video
conferencing things like that. - So no more blackboards. - No, no blackboards, no
cubicles. - okay I guess you work in a place that's very - I do I work at a very
digital telecom environment, and it's a very open concept space so, like we don't
sit in like cubicles we don't have these digital dinosaur or non digital dinosaur
monitors and we have a lot of board rooms that actually have like kind of
Skyping services you dial in, someone's there from Winnipeg, and you can have a
conference call with in like seconds and I'm at my computer I have two monitors
where I sit and I love it you love it! - Yes, do you miss a human interaction
though, or? - Well because we don't have like barriers or like you know so you
actually have more human interaction we have a lot of human interaction yeah
like I said next time I sit across from someone but we still kind of have our
own space and everything is accessible we have the tools and resources to do
our job, or our job and digitally it can be. - I come from a health care environment
and like your doctor's office is probably one of those places where it's
been very cottage industry very paper-based for a long time, and when I
built my clinic the whole goal was to be completely paperless and I think it
really helps both the physician and the provider because everything's on
electronic medical records the physicians can have tablets and they can
just find information faster so I know in terms of healthcare the digital world
and the technological advances have really helped for both the patient and
physician - but do you think there's any threat in terms of security though?
Privacy and security? - Well anything for healthcare is like super secure, like it
needs to be it needs to follow I think it's like HIPAA and PIPA and all these
like different acronyms, like it's not just
we're not just googling things and like putting patient charts on Word documents,
like because electronic medical records are very secure, and the cool thing is is
that once they all start to talk to each other which they're not doing yet, then
you could go from my clinic, to another clinic, to another clinic in like New
Brunswick, or Vancouver, or Toronto and your doctor will know everything about
you - It makes the world smaller. - Yeah, because like right now if
you go from your family doctor to a walk-in clinic, they don't know anything
about you, yeah the efficiency I mean over compensates for any
potential - I think so for sure. - to such a low low risk as you were saying so. - Yeah I'm
totally all for it anything digital like, I'm - But what about like, the
opposite side of it, so do you find that because we're so digital now, like I know
with me I can text my assistant at like 11 o'clock at night, she's three hours
ahead when I'm in Vancouver and she'll respond to me, and sometimes that kind of
scares me because, I'm like, I don't know like she should be sleeping, but we're so
connected. It's a two edged sword, right? - Yeah - That is the world we working though, I
mean that's how we connect, that's how we do our day to day job, that's how
everything you know, works essentially it's just so easy, it's accessible and
it's efficient. - It's efficient but do you think that there's a threat of
automating everything, job security itself, I mean aren't you afraid to lose
your job once everything becomes automated. - Well Jack Ma, the guy who founded Alibaba,
actually there's something a few days ago where he said if we don't change the
structure of education and how education is happening, then robots are gonna
replace everything, which I think although no one knows
what I do so, it's gonna be hard to replace me. - There are some specific fields
that's gonna be really difficult to automate or build a digital doctor robot,
kind of like - No, we're there! We're not a digital doctor, but like if you're in a nursing home
they set up like almost like a robot with this tablet and the doctor can be
anywhere, in the world and there's a nurse taking your vitals, so while we're
not replacing doctors they are talking about chat box, and all sorts of things yeah
just finding more efficient ways and it's saving money, so from business
standpoint. - You can even do counseling sessions over like the computer, now
there's actually doctors who have their own counseling services, over just
computer, you don't have to go into a doctor's office now. None of us
want to actually see people anymore. - Who wants to talk to people, I mean what's that about. So what do you guys think, do
you enjoy working in a digital environment or is it threat to your job
security? Let us know, comment below and subscribe, make sure you check us out on
social media, thanks so much for watching. I'm Danny Tozy, for BareTalk TV.
