Technology In Australia
Technology has changed the organisation of work and workplace cultures. It is obvious that many current jobs will be eliminated by advancing technology. Computers, robotics, and automation are driving more and more of production (The Future of Work, 2015). This has a large impact on the number of jobs and type of jobs currently being offered. The Committee for Economic Development of Australia released a report stating “More than five million jobs, almost 40 per cent of Australian jobs that exist today, have a moderate to high likelihood of disappearing in the next 10 to 15 years due to technological advancements” (CEDA, 2016).
Given the rate of how fast technology is changing we need to prepare for dealing with this disruption, we need to …show more content…
Another example to consider is the medical profession. Doctors spend time examining patients, ordering tests and performing diagnoses. What if doctors are no longer a thing and patients are monitored by biosensors on their bodies and the data from those sensors is being assessed in real-time by machine-learning algorithms looking for anomalies (Bradlow, 2015). For some people the emerging technology may mean new opportunities in new fields and industries. However there is no understanding of what new jobs or how many new jobs can be created to assist this change.
Two American organisations (Institute for the Future and Apollo Research Institute) have complied a report indicating what the biggest trends are and the main skills are that will be needed in the future. The report states six drivers of change. Firstly Extreme longevity, this refers to continuing increase in the life expectancy of people in developed countries, along with this there will also be an increase in the number of active years of life. In America the …show more content…

It is clear that the type of work humans are currently doing will change dramatically over the next 30 years. This change will disrupt the current work people are currently doing and will lead to a decrease in demand for traditional skills. For some the advancement of technology may open new job opportunities. The changes caused by upcoming and disruptive technology will have broad implications for society which will challenge us to develop
