Rise of the Robots

Robotics – Future Enhancement by 2020

Machines have boosted wages and the economy as a whole according to one study, but another paints a gloomy picture for the future.

The first digital and programmable robot was invented by George Devol in 1954, and was called UNIMATE. It was used to lift up hot metal pieces (Malone, 2011).

Robots can be our friends only if we programme the software correctly, Scientists in Japan have programmed a robot to help an elderly person out of bed and into a wheelchair. Not Like the iPhone’s Siri, if you ask the right things, it sounds quite competent, but a lot of the time the responses are plain silly.

Human beings always tend to adapt into new things, new technology which is more convenient or efficient for illustration, in the past we use to rely on our hands to wash our clothes now we have wet and dryer washing machines to help us save time, furthermore we had 2 in 1 washing machines where everything is done with one machine, don’t forget that machines are tools, and if their ownership is more widely shared, the majority of people could use them to boost their productivity and increase both their earnings and their leisure.

World economy needs balance either rich or poor person, if we imagine that white collar jobs going to be replaced by robots then we need to think of that we will be getting higher opportunity jobs. In terms of repetitive jobs have already been replaced by robots, leaving us with advanced skilled jobs this may become as a threat but the government and companies needs to provide new jobs opportunity with good income. Robots against us is just an understatement because it’s now just about who is the creator because we are the ones who are going to be programming the robots not the other way around. As Silicon Valley has taught us, technology can be both a dynamic engine of economic growth and a perverse intensifier of income inequality.
