Re: Is your job safe?
In the 1970's when automation was first taking place, TV programmes were predicting that by 2000 we'd all be working 20hr weeks (HoHo!) Of course the total opposite has been true, from a then average 40hr week more & more people are now working 60/70 hr weeks whilst the unemployed sector of societies have been expanding and becoming a "drain" on the economic structure of a country.
Now we have globalisation, whereby traditional manufacturing countries are in decline whilst third world countries are in the ascendancy. Unfortunately this globalisation is dependant on a low paid work force, so as countries move out of poverty economics, they are destroying the one factor that gives them the edge and manufacturing moves elsewhere!
Imagine a future were all work is now undertaken by machines, of which isn't far from the truth. Then how are all those humans replaced by robots going to earn money to purchase products & services produced by those robots?
There's going to be very little that can't be undertaken by a computer in the future, but I find some of the conclusions of this tool strange. The most obvious one, "Does your job require you to squeeze into small spaces?" Looking at an airline pilot, this scores a high 60%. There's so much technology already crammed into a cockpit that the absence of two people would leave a cavernous space to further fill the cockpit.
What is a far more important question here would be "Would you accept the replacement of the Pilot by a Robot?" and the answer in most cases would be "No" but in reality computers are routinely landing planes.
