Robotic Nation
In the Article Robotic Nation by Marshall Brain the main topic or subject of matter is the fact that the United States is slowly progressing the robotic technologies to do everything for us, and his point is that we will slowly progress into losing are jobs to robots by the year 2055 because of things advancing so fast.
In the article he talks about how in a single day he bought everything using a machine he first went to BJ’s and bought a few items using their self checkout then he went on to go to Home Depot where he bought some more items using the self checkouts, and finally he went to McDonalds and bought all of his food using a kiosk. All of these tools we have created are taking away the amount of physical labor us humans have to do.
He further goes into deeper things about how fast the technologies of the future are advancing to say that everything and all jobs will be taken over by robots from flying a plane to working in the factories and checking you out at a register in a store. The fact of the matter is that people think it is not possible but he talks about how in 1900 people thought flying would never happen and then in 1903 it did, he then goes on to state that by 1954 a jumbo plane flying 550 mph carrying a 70,000 pound loud was flying through the air. This just goes to show us that technology is able to advance faster then we can sometimes imagine.
Marshall Brian goes on further in the article to tell us about Moore’s Law which states that CPU power doubles every 18 to 24 months or so, this shows us how the computers become so obsolete so very fast. He then talks to us about how he thinks that the unemployment rate in America will rise to an all new high of 50% because of the robots being able to do so many of the daily jobs we complete today.
Finally he talks about how he thinks that their will be an invention of a new type of work for humans to do and that they will all be able to eventually get a job and progress into the future, but he isn’t quite sure of what this new job may be.
