| Soundwave said: While these technology advances are pretty impressive, it also though could gut a lot of jobs. Bye bye taxi drivers too, bye bye driving instructors. Trucking companies are already gearing up for driver-less trucks to be on the road next year. What are your thoughts on this stuff? |
Like salespersons who lost their jobs because of online?
People that worked in videostores?
That's basically how it always works. Already did with the industrial revolution actually. I had my typical german apprenticeship, usually three years, shortended to two and a half years in my case, as a bookseller.
I really liked my job. Wasn't a big thing, wasn't actually that well paid, but i liked it nevertheless. Until when thousands of jobs like this got eaten up by online stores.
Before that in the eighties and nineties there was a market consolidation in most western countries where smaller specialized stores of almost everykind where replaced with big chains, and yes, jobs where actually lost to some amount and, yes, others where replaced with less well paid jobs.
I don't know if the nex generation will have the ability to drive a car by themselves. But i really can't handle a horse carriage. So what?
Question is, what kind of jobs will we see in the future and will we see more or less everybody work? I'd actually say no. There won't be jobs for everybody.
