Informative Speech : Automation Is Good For Human

Robots can effect employment in a negative way,as said by the author Kelly “It may be hard to believe… 70 percent of today’s occupation will likewise be replaced by automation...even you will have your job taken away by machines”(Kelly Page.300), this quote comes to show the negative aspect of robots taking over the world in the near

article Carr explains how machines are making humans lazy and are weakening our awareness and attentiveness. He gives examples about situations where humans relied on computer operated machines. One of those examples were about a plane crash that killed all 50 people on board. “It reveals that automation, for all its benefits, can take a toll on the performance and talents of those who rely on it.” said Carr. The pilot of that plane had training but the more planes he let be in auto pilot the less control inputs he remembered causing him to react in an adverse way and unable to safely land the plane.

In “Better Than Human,” Kevin Kelly, Senior Maverick of Wired Magazine, insists that automation will allow us to become more human. When society grants automation the permission to complete the most menial tasks, it will allow individuals trapped in dead-end careers such as fastening bolts onto cars, to search for their true passions which only humans can accomplish. More people will be able to pursue jobs that robots, for now, can not complete with ease. Kelly believes that as artificial intelligence and the creators of it advance, more jobs will be created to fulfill society's growing needs. The simple tasks of assembling new machinery can be completed by the already established automation; while the job of developing software that controls

In her introduction, Barbara Garson gives the reader an idea of her personal work experience as a clerk with automation. One can see that Garson is a strong critique of automation. In order to convey how automation is affecting our society the author begins by analyzing and studying various jobs from the bottom on up (i.e. starting with the most unskilled labor).

Our issue can best be described by a story. The rivals in the tale were two titans in the world of automobile manufacturing who took a tour of a newly built and highly-automated factory. The forceful executive, Henry Ford II, and the leader of the automobile workers union, Walter Reuther, both saw many examples of advanced machinery operating at the plant. The words they exchanged brilliantly encapsulated the paradox of automation (Quote Investigator). “Walter, how are you going to get those robots to pay your union dues?”( Henry Ford II). This was followed by “Henry, how are you going to get them to buy your cars?”(Walter Reuther). This is the exact issue we are dealing with today.

We live in the age of constant technological innovation and endless information; in which we are so connected and dependent on the technology we use that we sometimes don’t even realize how much we’re relying on it. In The Glass Cage by Nicholas Carr, Carr defines automation as, “the use of computers and software to do things we used to do ourselves,” and argues that there are daunting consequences to our reliance on technology (Carr 1). In his book, Nicholas Carr sets up three arguments related to automation, tacit knowledge, and the idea of work. His main arguments throughout the novel are that humans are overestimating the benefits of automation, losing tacit knowledge through our reliance on technology, and

Not everyone is so receptive to this growing technology however. With changes happening too fast for many, there is a recurring argument that with this technology comes more automation and less personalization. The New Yorker’s Maria Konnikova put it best in, The Hazards of Going on Autopilot, where she compares automation to a pilot going on autopilot, “The more a procedure is automated, and the more comfortable we become with it, the less conscious attention we feel we need to pay to it.”

The main key points of the side that support the advancement of job automation is that AI will improve the standard of living, lower the prices of products, and encourage people to get higher education. As job automation progresses, so does the standard of living. The largest sector of the job industry that will be affected by job automation is the service sector, manufacturing, and many other jobs that do not require higher education. Since robots will replace these lower paying jobs that do not require much skill, the quality of life will increase. One negative effect is that there are numerous people that hold these positions in the lower paying industry that will lose

The increasing involvement of technology our society has left some experts wondering how automation impacts individuals. The Glass Cage, written by Nicholas Carr, provides a significant amount of information and examples regarding how mechanization, automation, and computers can positively, but mostly, negatively impact humans. The title, The Glass Cage, symbolizes society’s entrapment within computers, as they always surrounds us. A more visual representation used by Carr references the number of computers in the cockpit of an airplane, limiting the pilots to what technology will allow them to do, restricting their control as would a cage. The following texts will be examined with the perspective of Carr: A Culture of Improvement by Robert Friedel and Wonderland by Steve

Self-driving cars have driven hundreds of thousands of miles without human intervention. Because of their success and reliability. People should not worry when self-driving cars will replace normal cars, but rather how quickly. More importantly, these self-driving cars do not need to be created perfectly—they only need to drive better than humans. To help illustrate, 40,000 people are killed every year in human driven car accidents in the United States alone. Self-driving cars have an advantage over humans given that they do not blink, text while driving, or get sleepy behind the wheel. Self-driving cars should really be called “autos”: an automatic way of transporting objects from one location to another without a driver. Tiny autos can work in warehouses and smaller building, and larger autos can work on construction sites moving materials and equipment. Moreover, the transportation industry in the United States employs about three million people; counting world-wide employees, there are 70 million jobs minimum that can potentially be lost. While some people may fight against autos in the transportation industry, economics usually wins and rightly so. The incentives surrounding autos and transportation are too advantageous to give up. One-third of the total expenses of transportation companies is made up of human salaries, not to mention humans sleeping costs money, accidents costs money, and negligence costs money. Insurance companies even favor autos as they never get into accidents and pay a smaller premium. Accordingly, it is likely that autos will be the first place where individuals will actually see robots drastically changing

“The Great Forgetting” by Nicholas Carr is about how people rely too much on automation systems. Moreover, this dependency on automatic systems to do the work for people without any interactions with the equipment has negative consequences. Automation systems create problems like people will not learn how to properly use the system manually, poor on the job skills, and it takes away jobs from people due to systems taking over the workload. The main theme of “The Great Forgetting” is humans relying on automation systems to do their work for them which results in less skills, and it changes how humans behave. The author, Nicholas Carr, presents his theme in the essay through an example and information from a study. For example, he used a study

Automation and disruptive technologies will develop the economy and provide economic growth in the future, but not all individuals will benefit this change. The most effective way to embrace the technological changes in the future is by individuals investing in their own training and education. From past leanings, this has boosted incomes and the living standards. The effects of disruptive innovations and technologies has made businesses start to plan and the future progress that they offer and economic efficiencies it will provide. Disruptive technologies need to be at the centre of all innovation, creativity and advancement moving forward. They will assist in improving the living standards for many across the globe and allow us here in Australia

Since our grandparent’s youth autonomous cars have been a pop culture dream, but nothing more than an interesting idea yet to reach fruition. The prospect of this concept’s production is becoming increasingly more possible with companies such as Uber, Ford, Mercedes and Tesla racing to build autonomous vehicles for a radically changing consumer world (Wired, 2015). While it seems that automation would make our society a more efficient one, it is important to note that there are currently people employed in these sectors that will be displaced. There are dilemmas with this movement towards a cheap computing that has a narrow minded emphasis on speed, efficiency and convenience. In my opinion, not everybody immediately benefits, many suffer.

The term ‘automation’ was first introduced by D. S. Harder in 1936. He defined it as ‘the automatic handling of parts between progressive production process’ in relation to engineering industries. Since then the term has been applied to a wide variety of automatic machinery and automatic systems, and is commonly used to describe any operation in which there has been a substantial substitution of controlled action for human efforts or intelligence.

If we think about automation the first thing comes to our mind is robot. Actually robot is one of the best example of automation but automation can be used in other sectors too. Now a question may arise what is automation ? Automation is something which can take and implement its decision itself . It can be a machine , Robot, software etc. In this present age the importance of automation is very high cause we people are really very use to using modern technology and now we want to reduce use of our brain and human power using intelligent system . This systems can save our time as well as money[1-3].
