ANNOTATION
The author wrote about how robotics and technology affected
the workplace. He talked about how technologies have made
life easier and how technologies have made some human
workers lose their jobs. He also referred to the industrial
revolution and how it affected the factory workers. He believes
that there will be another revolution in the modern era that will
make robotics integrate into all factory work. He also believes
that the revolution will eliminate many jobs and hurt the job
economy. He also believes that many workers are going to be
replaced with more efficient robots. DeLong thinks that robots
will slowly take over all job and make human labor less
desirable.
THOUGHTS
This article helped me understand how
robotics is going to eliminate jobs. It also
gives insight into the negative aspect of the
implementation of robotics. Also, the author
discusses how many people will be put out
of work and forced to learn new careers,
because they do not have any prior skills to
the job. Consequently, causing the
unemployment rate to go up.
