Analysis Of Better Than Hum Why Robots Will-And Must-Take Our Jobs
Will robots take all of our jobs? If they do what jobs will the human race have? What will people do for a stable income to support their families? All of these questions and more are answered in Kevin Kelly’s article Better than Human: Why Robots Will-and Must-Take Our Jobs. In his article he states that robots will inevitably take all current jobs, causing life to be easier, new jobs to be made, and work to get done faster.
To start off, machines will naturally take over all of our current jobs at some point. The second wave of automation has started with artificial cognition as its focal point (300). These machines are predicted to consolidate where they’re already established such as in factory warehouses and on the assembly line. Robots will not only take over blue-collar jobs but will work their way towards white-collar work (300). People will automatically assume that robots taking over jobs is a horrible thing, but the reality is they need to. …show more content…
The first quadrant is for the jobs humans do right now that robots could do more efficiently. For example, machines weave cotton making perfect cloth even though humans can do it themselves. The only difference is that humans cost more money to make it (306). Machines have mastered the art of performing routine jobs and will replace the humans that cannot work as quickly. Robots search CAT scans by the millimeter to look for cancerous cells and find them faster than doctors because they do not have short attention spans like humans (307). Another example is the machines on the farms of America today. Milk would cost much more if milk farms did not have the fast machines to collect the milk from cows. If humans were still doing the milking we would not have as much milk, and it would cost more (300). Efficiency is one of the main positive effects of robots taking our jobs, not only because it gets done faster but because items would cost
