Part 2: Keron Rose: A Digital Nomad Bridging the Caribbean and the World 31 BY DINEIL IGNATIUS Seeing Technology in Action: Lessons from Asia Since moving to Asia, Keron Rose has been immersed in a technological environment that has reshaped his thinking about the role of innovation in everyday life. “China has blown my mind,” he says. “Their approach to technology is about solving the hardest problems. What are the most dangerous jobs people don’t want to do? Let’s automate them. Coal mining, for example nobody does it anymore. Autonomous machines dig the coal, and autonomous trucks transport it to fully automated stations. Even ports run 24/7 with minimal human input.” Keron recalls a vivid experience in Shenzhen, where he witnessed technology in real time. “We were at a park with someone from Huawei, and he ordered drinks using a drone delivery. You select the drone station, the drone arrives, and your order is released only after entering a code. It’s fully autonomous, working perfectly in real time.” Thailand, too, is embracing autonomous innovation. “They just rolled out their first self- driving drone taxis,” Keron notes. “These technologies are no longer science fiction they’re part of everyday life in Asia. And that’s why I’m here: to see it, experience it, and bring that knowledge back to the Caribbean in a way people can understand.” 23
