Humans Need Not Apply


Humans Need Not Apply

After watching the attached video, think about the effects of technology on our society, and specifically about how it affects the jobs that will be available in the future.

This isn't just about robots replacing people. This is also about the fact that, when that happens, it will eliminate the "smaller" or "fall back" jobs that are available to people. 

It will also create more jobs, because people will be needed to program or write the code for the systems that will do the more menial jobs, the service jobs - the lifting.

What effect will this have on your schooling and/or your career path? If you've been putting thought into what you're going to DO with your life - how does this change that idea?

Geeky question: How is this society and economy of the future demonstrated in Star Trek?

Humans Need Not Apply

This is some commentary by a guy who supports the ideas behind "Humans Need Not Apply". It's just for some additional info...

In Response to Humans Need Not Apply - "The whole idea of having to work for money, in order to live, will have to be thrown out of the window."
