3.Brand new words
-lucrative : profitable
-periphery : the external boundary of any surface or area
-credential : evidence of authority, status, rights
-ingenuity : the quality of being cleverly inventive
-dexterity : skill in using the hands
-cognitive : the process of thought
-abstract : thought of apart from concrete realities

4. what changes are you going to make?
- before I choose my job, I will always ask myself these two questions; ' can someone overseas do it cheaper?' 'can a computer do it faster?'

5.Further questions?
- how fast is it going to change?

6.what connection in real life?
-School is requiring too much L-Directed Thinking(math, physics, etc). Schools also should change thier curriculums.
