Following the current trend of the skills needed for jobs and the automation of different industries, Avinash Meetoo believes robots are the way of the future. He therefore says that the creative arts will thrive because people will have time on their hands and will be able to create things that entertain. In addition to the creative arts, there will be a high demand for jobs that call for computer science. Meetoo advocates for the creation of STEMA – Science, Maths, Engineering, Maths and the Arts, a field that will develop computer scientists who are artistic.

Avinash is the Founder and CEO of Knowleged Seven, provider of MQA-approved training in information technology (mainly open-source software), communication and digital marketing since November 2008 and Knowledge Seven Consulting, service provider for Linux and other open source software, mobile and web development and digital marketing since January 2012.
