Hi
please do not misunderstand me. I am not afraid at all. I just want to know how you guys thinking about this subject.
I am pretty sure that we will still have jobs. Just think about the steam era or the digitalization. 50 years in the past everybody would be afraid to have so money machines working for us and replace simple work.
I could believe that in 30 years we would work more in a consultant way. Not only to grow business but also to speak with people like a psychiatrist.
Just think about the evolution in the past few decades. More and more people are living alone or have less friends than before. That happens regrading our new lifestyle. Living far from home because of our jobs. Coming home late. Having to much things to do. Spending to much time with stuff that do not need community at all like browsing the internet, watching tv or playing games etc.
Well, social isolation does not happen because of the technology, what it happens is that the social networks are changing, before the invention of the car most people never got out of their towns so it is obvious they developed a greater sense of belonging but things have changed since in order to find a job you need to move to the other side of the country, so people do not know who is living next door and so that sense of community is lost as a result.
So do you think it will be a good idea for robots to replace humans and carry out every activities? If such happens, then there is likely to be an increase in the rate of unemployment. And when there is unemployment, does it still make sense for someone to go to school and study? No it doesn’t, because all those hassle was for us to come out and be employed to do what we love.
But in a world whereby robots takes over everything, companies would prefer to go for robots than employing humans. It’s crazy!
I never made an argument like that, but it does not matter what we want but what it is going to happen, robots are already replacing humans everywhere, and unemployment is going higher because of it and those are tendencies that are not going to change, so we are going to need to find a way to make society work with what we have, and that is something difficult since we never had a society that worked like that.
