Looking forward to be replaced by robots, with stupid people thinking it's fake news with their views of living in a bunker in the desert with their guns only to find out their community has left them with nature not caring otherwise in the new world of The Jetsons vs the Flintstones. Living badly in a time of a change with no job skills who will be hired for the job? If they can't take care of themselves then how are they to take care of the workplace? Things to think about!
It is a time to be going up to match the future going up as it does not go down! More funding is needed in schools more funding in solar power, electric car technology, robotics and etc. Kids need the job skills and so can't get them if they are not able to because there are no resources for them at their schools then crash! Schools and colleges need to get the ball going soon. This is not a time to build a football stadium as that clock is ticking! There is danger ahead!
~~~~Robots may replace 800 million workers by 2030. These skills will keep you employed. A new report released by McKinsey & Company indicates that by 2030, as many as 800 million workers worldwide could be replaced at work by robots.
The study found that in more advanced economies like the U.S. and Germany, up to one-third of the 2030 workforce may need to learn new skills and find new work. In economies like China's, roughly 12 percent of workers may need to switch occupations by 2030.
For some industries, an increase in automation won't mean a decline in employment, but rather a shift in the tasks needed to be done. For example, any job that involves managing people, applying expertise and social interaction will still be necessary, human performance in those areas can't be matched by a machine.
However, jobs involving mortgage origination, paralegal work, accounting and back-office transaction processing can easily be wiped out by automation.
A LinkedIn post focused on the report noted that some workers are already catching on to the need to boost the skills sets. Research by the networking platform found that fewer professionals are adding accounting and financial reporting to their profiles. Instead, employees are beefing up their online resumes with more soft skills like management, leadership and customer service.
While the impact of robots and automation may be scary to some, Bill Gates says the issue is nothing to panic about.
"This is a case where Elon [Musk] and I disagree," he said in a Wall Street Journal interview, in which he addressed Musk's gloomy vision of the future.
According to Gates, anyone with skills in science, engineering and economics will always be in demand.
