A short, but nonetheless thought provoking video. This man nails it on the head about automation and job obsolescence as a result. It’s ironic that people today fear job automation much more than computer literate people did in 1979.
But the reality is that job loss due to automation isn’t anything to fear, if two conditions can be met to facilitate the transition:
- We need to re-train a significant portion of the workforce to take on jobs that are not dependent on raw, procedural skills, which are reflected in just the kind of jobs automation will make obsolete. This is why Trump, or any other leader’s focus on saving manufacturing jobs is a big mistake. It’s just a sensationalist talking point. These are jobs that machines will soon be able to do for almost infinitely less than what firms would have to pay to maintain a fleet of factory workers.
