Re: The machines are taking our jobs

Automation does not always mean job losses as a whole .It may mean a job or number of jobs have been lost doing one particular task ,but quite a lot of new tech means new jobs .For example someone has to build and design the robots that replace humans for menial jobs (that may sound cliched but it is true)and how many jobs have been created by the everyday use of computers in industry ? which were i seem to remember being told would lead to a life of luxury where mankind did not need to work .Our biggest problem is our own reluctance to embrace change and progress in the work place we still seem stuck in the past where a job was for life and retraining is a dirty word
