Historically, the introduction of technology has caused profound changes in the labor market and, temporarily at least, displaced people from jobs. Discuss whether the introduction of extensive process automation is likely to have the same consequences for software engineers. If you don’t think it will, explain why not. If you think that it will reduce job opportunities, is it ethical for the engineers affected to passively or actively resist the introduction of this technology?
Think about how the rise of the PC and the Internet has affected system architecture to get a feel for the scope of this change. It's important to provide proof for your claims wherever feasible.
Suppose that you are looking into purchasing a new computer system. You have suitable benchmark results for all of the systems that you are considering, except for System X, Model Q. The benchmark results have been reported for System X, Model S, and they are not quite as good as that of several competing brands. In order to complete your research, you call the people at System X computer company and ask when they plan to publish benchmark results for the Model Q. They tell you that they will not be publishing these results anytime soon, but because the disk drives of Model Q give an average access time of 12ms, whereas Model S had 15ms drives, Model Q will perform better than Model S by 25%. How would you record the performance metrics for System X, Model Q?
