In layman’s terms, what is the technology about and what does it do?
What is important about the new technology? What does it offer businesses and/or consumers?
What most interests you about the technology?
How is it different from other existing technologies that do similar things?
What career opportunities exist in the area covered by the technology? Be specific about job titles and career paths.
How, if at all, does the technology change the job market?
What new skills or knowledge would you need to develop to take advantage of new job opportunities?
