GAME CHANGERS

Old Technology
Gone are the days of hailing a taxi, phoning in a hotel reservation, lining up for movie tickets and using cash for purchases in a boutique store. Now you can do it all with the touch of a screen thanks to innovations like Uber, Airbnb, Amazon or Netflix - to name a few. Call them the game changers; they’re shaking up society, altering our lives at an exponential rate. "We stand on the brink of a technological revolution that will fundamentally alter the way we live, work, and relate to one another," predicts professor Klaus Schwab, founder and executive chairperson of the World Economic Forum. "The transformation will be unlike anything humankind has experienced before." Digital technology has already fuelled dramatic changes. Now, Schwab says, the "fourth industrial revolution" is on its way, shaped by a fresh new wave of innovation. Here’s a look at how these disrupters could impact our everyday life.
How we shop Marc Saltzman’s wife, Kellie, dropped him and his son off at Canada’s Wonderland recently. By the time he realized he’d forgotten his wallet, she was gone. It could have been a disappointing day, but Saltzman, a technology expert and author, had a smartwatch. He paid for the day with a tap of his wrist. Mobile payment is just one way game changers are transforming our lives. Soon, Saltzman says, we

could: • order a product, have it drone-delivered to our door, ID verified by photo and a receipt sent via email. • order plans for a product and create it in our own home with a 3D printer. • don a virtual reality headset or sensor gloves to browse stores and try on clothes at home; or walk through a mall with augmented glasses that overlay digital info about the product and whether it’s cheaper somewhere else.
How we spend our leisure time The travel business has been upended with the influx of online booking sites and rating services like TripAdvisor. Now the sharing economy including Airbnb, VRBO - is chipping away further, leading to disputes over municipal bylaws and local neighbourhoods engulfed by transients and tourists. At the same time, allyou-can eat, buffet-style services are disrupting the en-
tertainment world with services like Spotify and Google Music, ebooks and video-game streaming. Next, Saltzman predicts, cars with data plans will link you to the strongest nearby tower, streaming content via an antenna atop your car.
How we get around Speaking of cars, do you really need one anymore? Uber - connecting drivers and riders - and Zipcars renting cars by the mile or minute - allow us to travel a la carte. And if you do own a car, you may not need someone behind the wheel in a few years. This leads to new possibilities, says Saltzman. "We can make money with our car while we’re not using it - letting it drive other people around. Things are going to get pretty exciting." But not everyone’s excited. The trucking industry is one of many traditional industries sounding alarms over upheaval and job loss.

MORE COVERAGE: Death of child spurs drive for drone technology. See page 7 Where we work A fleet of autonomous trucks, driving across Europe last April, gave a hint of what’s ahead. Andrew McAfee, co-founder of the MIT Initiative on the Digital Economy, warns that trucking could be one of many industries where traditional middle-class jobs are at risk. In its report Age of Disruption, Deloitte Canada warns the majority of Canadian businesses are not prepared for looming rapid advances in key technologies and will not survive. Brookfield Institute for Innovation + Entrepreneurship reports that nearly 42 per cent of the tasks Canadians are currently paid to do can be automated using existing technology. But some, like Newmarket business owner Attila Vinczer, are optimistic about our ability to adapt. Repetitive assembly jobs in his tool-and-die plants are moving toward automation, but he still views himself as a job creator.
"I still hire, but the jobs are different and require different skills like computer expertise and ability to maintain the machines, work websites and social media." No one aims for a hollowed-out plant that runs itself, he adds. "There’s a responsibility among business owners to ensure the workforce is prepared and adaptable, because if no one’s able to make a living in this brave new world, if everything’s automated, who will buy the products?"
How we adapt How does one cope, then, in a world where everything is changing? Experts say the "soft skills" will be essential, but Steve Joordens, psychology professor at the University of Toronto, warns those are the skills we are most in danger of losing, as we isolate in our silos of convenience, plugged into smartphones, live-streaming individual movie choices, interacting in superficial ways on social media, no longer chatting with cashiers or strangers in bank-teller queues. Kids, especially, aren’t learning skills like small talk and conversational
turn-taking, he says. Older generations may worry about how they’ll keep up, while younger ones struggle with expectations. Professors lament that students expect them to be available 24-7; employers say young new hires expect to be promoted to management in two years because that’s how quickly the rest of the world works. From smarthomes to smartphones, we are eager to trade off privacy and security in exchange for convenience - but is that really so smart? Joordens suggests we should prepare ourselves for this fast-changing world by forcing ourselves to slow down and carving out regular digital-free times for "mindfulness." Sheila Embleton, a professor and former provost at York University, agrees. "Those things that have always stood people in good stead will continue to: critical thinking, being adaptable to change, able to have good relationships. "One can decry the loss of the old world, but we’re all having to adapt. When we link the best of the old with the new, we will end up with something that’s altogether better."

Osprey rescued after incredible group effort HEIDI RIEDNER hriedner@yrmg.com It took a little more than a wing and a prayer to save an adult osprey dangling 40 feet above the Pefferlaw River last week - it took a group of concerned citizens and a high-level rescue from a local tree service company. The last thing outdoor enthusiasts Paul and Moira Saunders expected to see while out canoeing on July 5 was an osprey snared in baler twine, twisting heartbreakingly in the wind. The couple contacted fellow Pefferlaw resident and anglers club member Brian Guildford, who immediately brought his boat out to help. "We couldn’t just leave it," Guildford said, adding that despite the best efforts of all involved - including the Saunderses and Sutton Group real estate agent Kirk Eddy - all attempts to dislodge the bird were unsuccessful.
"It was hard to watch the bird in distress and to feel so helpless," Guildford said. Faced with a high-level rescue, the call went out to Wright’s Tree Service, since owner/operator Johnny Wright is wellknown for performing animal tree rescues on occasion in the community. "There was no doubt in any of our minds that Johnny would help, it was only if he would be able to," Guildford added. As it turns out, Wright and foreman Michael Kerswill were working locally and glad to help out. "We often get cat calls and we’re glad to do it," Wright said, adding that a 40-foot repel and cut job/osprey rescue, however, is a bit out of his norm. "Cats up a tree is more our normal, although we did rescue an indoor parrot from a tree once - after chasing him around for a bit," he said. After being picked up

of Guildford’s boat. "It all worked out very well and it took about six or seven minutes," Wright said nonchalantly of the rescue that was pretty impressive to the group gathered. "We do it every day," Wright added. Shades of Hope, which had a worker on scene to transport the bird to its wildlife refuge, reported the osprey is recovering nicely after its ordeal. Oddly enough, Wright said the baler twine may have actually worked in the osprey’s favour, since much thinner fishing line would have cut into its legs. He also speculated the bird probably poached the twine along its travels rather than in the water, most likely wanting to use it in its nest, but ended up being tangled up by it instead. "That’s my theory. Poor guy. He’ll probably never pick it up again, though. "At least I hope so, for his sake."

clos Point Nature Reserves. "We are now taking extra measures and providing safety rings at the designated swim area," Morris said. While a life-jacket/personal flotation device loaner program is in place at the park, water safety devices such as shepherd’s poles and safety rings were
not available at the time of the incident. Increased safety measures, including adding lifeguards to the beach during peak times, were some of the suggestions made by beachgoers saddened to hear of the drowning death. "It would be so awesome to have lifeguards on the
weekends when it is so busy," local resident Lacy Wenzel said. Wenzel was on the beach Canada Day and one of many who attempted to rescue the young man. She managed to bring the unconscious boy to shore with the aid of a pair of teenage girls from Richmond Hill after a man on a
raft struggled to keep the boy’s head above water. After the incident, Wenzel also suggested to the park warden that officials bring swimming ropes in a little closer to shore. There have been three reported drownings at the park since 2010. - with files from Simon Martin

ABOUT US
We must learn to adapt to game-changers It’s long been said the only constant is change. All one needs to do is examine the pace at which new technologies are altering our daily lives to recognize that the age-old phrase is truer now, perhaps, than it has ever been. Consider that in a relatively brief span of time, hailing a taxi, booking a hotel reservation over the phone, and renting a movie at the video store have all become things of the past. Instead, more and more people get a lift via Uber, secure a place to stay through any number of hotel booking websites or Airbnb, and rely on internetbased video streaming services, such as Netflix, to watch films or catch up with their favourite television shows. If you think those innovations are something, buckle up, because many more are on the way. These socalled game-changers are heralds of what professor Klaus Schwab, the founder and executive chairperson of the World Economic Forum, calls "the fourth Industrial Revolution". What will the next wave of innovations look like? Well, experts envision being able to receive your online purchases via drone delivery, having the power to buy plans for an item and 3D-printing it at home, and even visiting a store from the comfort of your home thanks to virtual reality. You can also expect the "sharing economy" to not only persevere, but increase in the future. As much as many of those developments sound exciting, they, and others, possess the potential to cause substantial disruptions for existing industries. For example, the trend toward increased automation will directly impact many of us, with the Brookfield Institute for Innovation + Entrepreneurship estimating nearly 42 per cent of the tasks Canadians are currently paid to do could be at risk of being replaced by technology. As with any seismic shift, one can view what’s coming as a crisis or an opportunity. And, while it won’t always be easy, it’s likely best to take the latter view as resisting change of this magnitude is most likely futile anyway. "One can decry the loss of the old world, but we’re all having to adapt," professor and former provost at York University Sheila Embleton says. "When we link the best of the old with the new, we will end up with something that’s altogether better." She’s right. We can’t always control what changes and challenges will be thrown at us, but we can control how we react. Like the dinosaurs, our choices will essentially boil down to evolve or else.

• LETTERS & COMMENTARY • No place in the world better than Canada What do I love most about Canada? I’ve been travelling for close to a year and I get this question a lot. So, since it’s Canada’s 150th birthday, I’ve decided to give it an answer. What I love most about Canada — we’re not just one. Not one culture or one religion. Not one language or one education system. Not one season, one climate or one sport. Not one political party or one government system. Not one type of family or one type of marriage. Not one type of industry or one type of economy. Not just provinces but territories too. Not just rock but fertile fields and forests. Not just land but sur-
rounded by sea. We cannot be defined by one. We are about choice. We can chose who to be, what to be, where to be, and if we want to be. We can chose to believe or not, to support or not, to speak out or not, and to demonstrate or not. We are a product of not one. Not one background, one place, one lifestyle, one heritage, or one story. Yes, we are multicultural, but it is so much more than that. We are constantly in flux — reinventing ourselves, refining ourselves, re-educating ourselves and renewing ourselves. We support, defend and assist those in need. Yes, we say sorry a lot, but that’s because we are a nation of empathetic people, aware of our diversity and celebrating not just what makes us different,

A good deed on Canada Day On my way home from the Canada Day classic car show on Main Street in Stouffville, I stopped at No Frills for a few groceries. Being a senior, I only needed a few. I lay my wallet on the seat of the bicycle and separated a few grocery bags from my bicycle and then
went into the store. A few minutes later, I was in line at the checkout and I reached for my wallet. It was not there. Oh no, I had left it on the bicycle seat. I left my groceries and rushed out to find it was not on my bicycle seat either. It was indeed gone. As I returned to the store to explain, two new Stouffville residents were standing there checking people’s faces. They had found the wallet and found a photo ID in it, and were looking for the face - my face. I am so grateful for what they did. Because of my travels when I was younger I thought I should say thank you to them in Hindi. Which they understood. Lorne Grove Stouffville

LISA QUEEN lqueen@yrmg.com In an emotional encounter a couple of years ago, the chief of a remote First Nations community told Tony Di Benedetto about the death of a child. Suffering from a respiratory illness, the youngster needed an inhaler, but there wasn’t one available in the village. "For them to get a puffer there just-in-time was thousands of dollars to charter a plane or helicopter or whatever they needed to do," Di Benedetto said. The community had to wait until the next plane of supplies arrived several days later. Unfortunately, by that time, the child had died. Di Benedetto’s Vaughanbased company, Drone Delivery Canada, is working to make sure that never happens again. Launched in 2014, the drone technology logistics company is working with governments and indigenous peoples to introduce drones capable of getting medicine, groceries and other items to Canada’s isolated communities.

We said we can utilize drones to provide just-in-time access to goods and supplies." Not only will drones reduce transportation costs, but the operation will create jobs in remote communities, Di Benedetto said. While others in the industry appear to be more focused on futuristic applications for drones, Drone Delivery Canada’s aim in northern Canada is more humanitarian, although it is also exploring profitable ideas with private companies. "We believe this is the right place to start with this technology because not only is it innovative, is it unique and maybe one day it will deliver a pizza to your front door, maybe," Di Benedetto said. "But there is a real life application here for Canada’s north, where you can consider it humanitarian in what it’s doing. It’s a great place to start and it’s the right type of geography. We’re the leaders in this."

A six-figure federal grant helping to raise a roof over the Pefferlaw Ice Pad may be at risk after construction tenders came in almost double the $786,225 budgeted amount for the project. "It’s really disappointing we can’t find a contractor to do the job on our original budget," regional Coun. Naomi Davison said after a staff report identified construction bids were significantly overbudget, ranging between $1 million and $1.3 million. "They’re not prepared to move on their quotes at this point," recreation and culture director Robin McDougall said, adding the town is now in a bit of a "time crunch" under the parameters of the federal grant process. The majority of the project needs to be completed by March 31, 2018 or $315,000 in federal grant money under the Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program, which represents 40 per cent of the total budgeted price tag for the job, will be forfeited. "The clock is ticking," chief administrative officer Winanne Grant said, asking for delegated authority from council to select the preferred contractor and award the tender to keep momentum on the project. "The degree to which the bids are above our budget, I can’t see that there is any way we can negotiate through that procurement process", Grant added. Bids came in on target for the structure, but quotes for peripheral work were "elevated", according to the project consultant, who estimated contractors are either just throwing numbers at it because they are busy or taking advantage of supply and demand, as well as funding factors. Davison balked at handing over additional funds, as well as delegated authority for the project, since "the purse strings for the municipality are supposed to be held (by

Canadian Blood Services urges residents to book appointment to donate Canadian Blood Services is appealing to Georgina residents to book an appointment to donate blood in either Keswick or Sutton this summer. "Over the last year, we
have seen a lower donor turnout than expected at our Georgina clinics, and unfortunately, we are not on track to meet the targets for our upcoming clinics in July and August," Elaine
St. Pierre, the territory manager for Canadian Blood Services, says. New donors are critical to meeting future blood needs, especially when you consider Canadian Blood
Services needs to collect 16,000 units of blood across Canada every week to meet hospital demand. Optimum turnout would be 60 donors at the Sutton Kin Community
"Somewhere, a patient and their family will be thankful." For info and to book an appointment, download the new GiveBlood app or visit the blood.ca website.
Hall clinic on Friday, July 21, between 4:30 and 7:30 p.m. and 100 donors on Monday, Aug. 21, at the Keswick Presbyterian Church between 2:30 and 7:30 p.m., according to St. Pierre.

This month Canada celebrates its 150th Anniversary of Confederation. The official motto of Canada is: “A Mari usque ad Mare”, which translated means “From sea to sea”. This motto was based on a biblical Psalm (72:8): “He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth”. Our nation has deep Christian roots going back to even the days of Jacques Cartier and the Fathers of Confederation.
