Technology and It’s Effects on Jobs (Must See Videos)
It Is Happening
I even found surgeries that have been performed. Now I’ve seen these on TV. But they’re doing so many different kinds of operations. I saw one of a small child having his spine operated on by a computer they call Di Vinci’s intention on writing this article is not to scare you. And I’m sure you already know about this. But technology is moving so fast. Look at smartphones. Mine is always getting a new update at least every three months or so. I’ll download an app, only to have to update it every two months. If what you currently own is the first generation, wait, there will be a 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, and I could go on and on with this. My Kindle Fire 8, is the 7th generation. You know what I’m talking about. It’s hard to keep up. You no sooner get you a brand new electronic, and in nine months, they’re coming out with a new one.
Have You Been Affected Yet?
The benefits of robots are many. They can ‘multi-task’ many tasks at once. They are more consistent, efficient, and precise than human workers. Because robots can complete jobs faster, that increases production, as well as the infamous bottom line to any business, profits!

- Database
- Electronics Engineer or Technician

Don’t get left behind! If you don’t know what to do, check out Wealthy Affiliate University. It’s where I learn. I have two websites, and yes, I have made money with them.
Seriously, this is a very alarming topic that needs a very serious deliberation and action. Anytime I try to look up my YouTube to discover new things, I get amazed at the fast rate at which technology is moving but it gets really disheartening to realise all these development will affect human labour and render most people jobless. The best way is just to keep up to trend as youve suggested and find a better means to generate income.
It is scary. I remember, many years ago, my Nana saying that computers were going to take over our jobs. She had already retired, but computers did take over her job, telephone operator.
Thanks for stopping by, and keep several steps ahead, my friend,
