Something that can be hoped for with all the upcoming
technology that is replacing jobs will be that new jobs will also be created.
Yes, robots that are more efficient will replace many jobs, but with all the
new technology, jobs that no one ever even considered may be created. Just like
back when farming was much more popular, farm equipment took over many jobs
from the farms but new jobs were also created because of it. Machines have
obvious positive impacts on production efficiency, but one of the downfalls of
machines is that they don’t have any creativity. Machines could take away the
mainstream jobs but humans must still do the jobs that resort to any type of
art. That’s one type of job that technology can’t do better than a creative
mind. It’s important for money to still be circulating, and for that to happen
money has to be made and spent; that being said, employers have to be careful
how many jobs they replace by machines. Even if machines could potentially do
the same job, the government should watch over the unemployed to employed
ratios and try and keep it under control. Perhaps mandate a rule that only so
many machines can do certain jobs, so that unemployment doesn’t shoot down,
resulting in an even worse economy than what is around at this moment.
