RE: Getting Robots To Pack The Groceries

in #technology6 years ago

Every time I read about how technology is advancing and occupying more and more spaces in the workplace, I have mixed feelings! On the one hand, the satisfaction of seeing how we advance in technology and in consciousness for the most needy, but on the other hand, the concern that technology replaces man and these are marginalized to a group of unemployed and useless. As if to reflect!

Looking on the bright side, the cost savings of robots doing part of the work could free up money to invest in expanding the stores (or building more of them) leading to an increase in jobs as long as there are still humans doing other work there. Nobody can predict the future, but I think technology has generally created more new jobs whenever it has obsoleted old ones, at least historically.
