				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As I&#8217;m slowing getting back to blogging, I thought I elaborate on my last article on &#8220;<a title="Creativity Rules: Robots in 2050" href="http://blog.sparcit.com/2012/12/creativity-rules-by-2050-7-out-of-10-jobs-are-either-outsourced-or-replaced-by-robots/" target="_blank">Creativity rules: By 2050, robots can do a lot more work than we originally perceived.</a>&#8221;</p>
<p>I still think it would be awesome if I had my own F-bot. It would give me more time to read more books and articles, talk to more people and be more creative. A lot of our life is spent on doing mundane things. But if we can automate that, then, we all have more time to contemplate more on how to be more creative.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m swapped building an amazing Creativity Assessment and Enhancement company. But to all other entrepreneurs out there, VCs are looking for great entrepreneurs to make great robot companies. A great <a title="How to build robotic companies" href="http://spectrum.ieee.org/automaton/robotics/industrial-robots/five-dos-and-donts-on-building-your-robotics-startup">article</a> by my friend and venture capital at Lux Capital <a title="Shahin Farshchi" href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/shahinf" target="_blank">Shahin Farshchi</a>.</p>
<p>Elizabeth Holmes and <a title="Theranos" href="http://www.theranos.com/">Theranous</a> team, has automated the way lab tests.  When once we had to go to medical labs now can be done by a sophisticated machine with one tiny drop of blood at a much lower cost.</p>
<p>And guess what, <a title="SparcIt" href="http://www.sparcit.com" target="_blank">SparcIt</a> is going to automate creativity assessment.  What was originally done by a group of experts and was taking days to be completed, can now be done at a fraction of the time and the cost by SparcIt&#8217;s <a title="IgniteIt" href="http://www.1888pressrelease.com/semantic-psychometric/creativity-assessment/sparcit-announced-the-release-of-igniteit-its-new-engine-fo-pr-544653.html" target="_blank">IgniteIt</a>.</p>
<p>I think we are all at the verge of a new era: it&#8217;s the era of automation and elegant design.  In this era, jobs such as creativity directors, designers and architects will flourish.  It is a necessity for these folks to be more creative and learn to think outside-of-the-box.  Let&#8217;s all help in creating such workforce.</p>
