New Invention Redefines The Delivery Process

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

The trucking industry is the lifeblood of the U.S. economy. Nearly 70% of all the freight tonnage moved in the U.S. goes on trucks. Without the industry and our truck drivers, the economy would come to a standstill. To move 9.2 billion tons of freight annually requires nearly 3 million heavy-duty Class 8 trucks and over 3 million truck drivers. It also takes over 37 billion gallons of diesel fuel to move all of that freight. Simply – without trucks, America stops. (trucking.org)

Yes in the near future, I believe that robots will replace humans relative to work. The reason being is when large companies/firms replace their employees with robots, they do not have to worry about paying salaries or compensation anymore. According to Andrew McAfee(https://www.ted.com/talks/andrew_mcafee_what_will_future_jobs_look_like?language=en#t-221607), not only will technology take over our jobs, technology/robots will provide efficiency, quality, and an “explosion,” in volume. Why would the owners, executives of the company want to pay for labor when they don’t have to? From McAfee’s(https://www.ted.com/talks/andrew_mcafee_what_will_future_jobs_look_like?language=en#t-221607) graph from Race Against the Machine’s shows us that Since

The article ‘Rise of the Machines’ is Not a Likely Future (2015), Michael Littman addresses the issue and worries that people have with regards to technology. The article attempts to persuade readers to believe that there is no need to fear technology as it is just not possible that they can overtake humanity. Zeynep Tufekci touches on the issue of machines taking over jobs of human, titled “The Machines are Coming (2015)”. She attempts to argue that there is no need to reject or blame technology for taking over jobs at the workplace. Littman’s argument is stronger than Tufekci as he provided logical reasoning due to a well balanced structure with consideration of opposable viewpoints with substantial evidence and effective usage of Pathos to appeal to the reader. Tufecki’s argument is weak due to the lack of evidence and her claim was only brought in at the end of her article which makes it seem very lop-sided.

In society, where it is already hard enough to obtain a job, the creation of AI will take away jobs from countless people. In total there will be a 47% loss of jobs and specifically in the

In our race against the machines, it is causing the loss of jobs, income, and shelter which can lead to poverty. If a robot takes over, we are

The thesis of this book is that the advancing technology, including robots is increasing unemployment. The robots are destroying repetitive and predictable jobs. However, as the world is technologically progressing in this era, many jobs are starting to fall under the category of predictive, including healthcare. Martin Ford is stating that robots will be the new norm for many industries, starting from low-paid jobs to highly-paid jobs. Although, Martin Ford did not explicitly sate his thesis, he foreshadowed the purpose of this book which leads to the reader being able to imply his thesis

these robots and/or be the ones coding them in the future (Wohl). Thus, it is becoming

Technology is a vine creeping slowly, ready to engulf the whole of the Earth in years to come. It has been necessary to countless advances in the world, but many think that it could be a foreshadowing of something sinister. The belief in this underlying future has led to dichotomous interpretations of a technological domination. These often focus on robots with an artificial intelligence superior to human intelligence. They are able to defeat the human race, with their advanced, albeit artificial, thinking. It is not difficult to find someone or something ready to preach of the possibility of a robot apocalypse. While a total robot takeover is likely far off, robots are still altering the human world at a rapid rate.

My friends and I decided we wanted McDonald's for lunch one day, and what do we see as we walk inside? Robots taking orders; I was shocked! I always knew it was a possibility that robots would eventually take over workplaces, but I never thought it would be so soon. The whole concept of this is terrifying. A major thing I am concerned about is when do workers need to start worrying about the possibility of robots taking over and if there will be an alternative situation to receive income? How long will it be before technology advances so far that we won't even need janitors or human construction workers? Technological advancements in businesses are stripping away low wage jobs, adding new requirements for low wage employees, and creating a need for a solution to secure the poor economy.

Since the world is advancing so quickly, how many people are going to be replaced by robots? Will morticians lose their jobs to robots? It’ll be weird to have our funerals ran by things that aren’t even human and that probably don’t have the feelings to care like we do now. Many people don’t seem to care with how quickly technology is advancing, like most people are going to be out of a job soon.

Recently, many more Australians have found themselves jobless as robots and heartless machines replaced them, and it is predicted that this trend is set to continue. Research has shown that in a mere eight years, 40 percent of Australian jobs could be lost to machines, which equates to roughly 5 million jobs, it’s even been dubbed" a new kind of industrialisation". the effects of automation on the labour force are obviously large scale. Remote companies are most at risk in Australia as they have a high likelihood of experiencing a 60% job loss. Predictions state that in the next 10 to 15 years, 70% of companies are expected to go digital. This is already evident in some sectors such as banking, with the use of internet banking and ATM’s as well as in supermarkets using self-serve checkouts, and at airports with the vast majority of airlines switching to self-service check in kiosks. The high rates of productivity that machines have make them so much cheaper. One example of this is the fact that a bricklaying robot can lay 1000 bricks an hour, in comparison the average bricklayer can only achieve half of this amount in the same time

However, with a developed AI system, autonomous robots will be able to perform these tasks with little to no supervision from humans. At the same time, because an artificially intelligent robot will be capable of much more than humans in the future, its body not getting tired or slowing down exponentially due to old age, many fear that a large majority of our jobs will be supplanted. Professional roles such as doctors, lawyers and accountants could be replaced by artificial intelligence by the year 2025 (Shaping Tomorrow 2014).

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Centre for Transportation and Logistics argues that in recent times, precious few innovations in

Today, there are so many new developments in technology around the world. This means that the places we work in are changing as well. Things may be easier. As technology advances even more in the future, jobs may be more limited. People may need higher education. We may not even need people to do the jobs anymore. Robots might be doing it all!
