Skills have a shelf Life
The debate on offshoring and migration needs to be considered within the context of how
work itself is changing, says Mark Kobayashi-Hillary in Who Moved My Job? A tale for
anyone with a job that has yet to move ( www.vivagroupindia.com). There is always an
alternative future, though it may not be obvious, he cheers.
"Remember when the career you trained for, and possibly went to university to study for,
would remain unchanged for a lifetime? Now it can be only be taken as read that many
skills learned in one decade are outdated in the next. A university degree is no longer a
one-way ticket to career success."
The author exhorts those in mature societies to reconsider their expectations. "Our systems
of education, social security, and income tax may need to be scrapped and rebuilt.
Our ideas that the state itself may entirely support pension age citizens will almost certainly
need to be scrapped."
He also recommends that the concept of schooling and education be geared towards life-
long pursuit, rather than something that we can opt out at sixteen.

2.2 Summary

 The word ‘simulation’ is frequently used alone in a variety of contexts.
 Simulation should be used when the penalties of a proposed action, plan or design cannot
be directly and right away observed.

 Continuous System Simulation illustrates analytically and systematically how
mathematical models of dynamic systems, typically described by sets of either ordinary
or partial differential equations perhaps attached with algebraic equations, can be simulated
on a digital computer.

2.3 Keywords

Pure Pursuit: It is a tracking algorithm that functions by scheming the curvature that will shift
a vehicle from its existing position to some objective position.
Relationships: Relationships are the associations that occur between elements and attributes.
