Our 5G future is suddenly coming into sharp focus. Whether revolutionizing a city, building, workplace, the military or a farm, with the build out of broadband and 5G technologies around the country, connectivity is being elevated beyond higher speeds, towards creative collaboration and customization across industries. Thursday's Our Faster Future: Powering the Work of Tomorrow, Today @Work Spotlight event highlighted this. Some key takeaways from our speakers below. You can also watch the full interview on cnbc.com/work now. - Siemens CEO Barbara Humpton: Innovation highlights ahead include high-speed rail (which she can't wait for), healthy buildings, and digital enterprise and manufacturing with more control. We're now seeing an industrial router on the factory floor that can "elevate automation one more step" by taking repetitive tasks off human hands to allow space and time for creativity. Robots can be "co-bots" with people on the factory floor. It's not just using robots for mass production and greater efficiency; the next Industrial Revolution is about mass customization, she revealed to Brian Sullivan. Full interview here.
- XCOM CEO Paul E. Jacobs: It's about humanizing the collaboration and meeting experience. Dropbox, on which he is on the board, focuses on spaces for gathering a few times a week. "Serendipity happens when you're together – that's a much harder thing to manufacture over video conferencing," he shared with Kara Swisher. This type of thinking can be applied to school and education, too. With the help of AR and VR, he sees a future of work where we also interact with avatars to help humanize the remote work experience as companies move to a hybrid workplace model.

- Deere & Company CTO Jahmy Hindman: Machine vision and machine learning are being used for precision agriculture to change the game of rural America, allowing farming decisions to be made at record speeds, and to reduce widespread use of chemicals. Decisions can be made in real time, from weather to necessary nutrients – this will add economic value and productivity within the agricultural space. Full interview here.
