In recent times, we can't overlook the essence of technology in our existence. The advent of technology has really played a great role in humanity and made life even easier for us. There were times when we had nothing like computers; the counting machines back then were abacuses and a few other means. But since the introduction of computers, calculations have been made so easy.
This must have played different roles, thereby rendering the use of other tools and equipment useless and valueless. But the fact that you have to do many things with ease can’t be underestimated.
This same technology has gone so far and advanced that nowadays it has begun to play the role of even humans, not just tools and equipment again. Some of these technological tools warrant us to revise the old ways of doing things and tend to adjust to the new ways of doing things.
Relatively to the topic of discussion on the hive learners community for the present edition and how poor we have our education system in the country. There are some of the courses we studied in higher institutions that are of little or no use to the future of students with the aid of technology.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been one of the recent trends in technology nowadays. And almost everyone is left with no choice but to embrace it. So from my point of view, I got to highlight three courses I feel are less important when it comes to the aid of AI.
I have them as the three “A”s
Art
Art is one course we study in the university, though it can't be scrapped fully, in recent times we get to see a lot of picture edits, video edits, and artwork done smoothly and nicely by artificial intelligence. Though some other aspects of it couldn't be replaced, since its majority has been taken over by AI then I think students should just focus their knowledge and talents on other aspects.
Accounting
It's so funny that nowadays there are a lot of apps that can solve financial problems and give results so easily without stress. All you have to do is input your details and then all of the calculations and formulation will be done then you get your results. So that's just one of the courses I think doesn’t need much human practice and knowledge in recent times.
Architecture
The last of them is architecture, I have seen a lot of students study architecture and struggle with architectural designs. But funny enough AI can have this done without stress, drafting a house pattern and designing. All of these could be done easily and perfectly by Artificial intelligence which might render the course useless to students.
In conclusion,
The more we embrace technology and its advancement we realize that it's making life easier for us but on the other end, it's taking a lot from us too. So it best if we could get used to the trend and then figure out ways to eliminate and add some other means of learning to aid our lifestyle in conjunction with artificial intelligence.
This is my response to the HIVE LEARNERS weekly prompt in hive learners community for the Week 139 Edition 2 and the topic to be discussed is NOT NEEDED

I didn't know architecture is becoming outdated fr, AI is really taking over.
As for accounting, it's not like before where people brag about it like it's medicine
No one thought a day would come where technology will try to replace humans but we are in that era now..
We want accountants like us to go hungry abi? Ehn, well, I think accounting apps can do the job, but then it also requires the physical presence of an accountant to be able to actively input these figures to get a good accounting result.
