Automation

Plain and simple in my opinion, robots are going to replace jobs and people due to automation. For example, for people in hospice care. They already have project death date and the point of hospice is to comfort that individual before they pass away. Now my mom is a hospice caregiver and she tells me she doesn't do much because there is nothing she can do. Now if a person was comfortable with having a robot with them to comfort them, why would they have a person to do the same thing a robot can do? If the person dieing wanted somebody to play the violin, a robot can do that. That's just one example and the development of robots are far from over. So the development will get better overtime. So I think the first job to slowly decrease due to robots is something nursers due. Such as reading charts, typing, getting meds and stuff like that.

As for accounting, transaction can be done on computers. Back before the time of computers, accounting was more difficult. Having to do balance sheets by hand. Now its easier due to computers. Technology is not done developing and jobs will get easier overtime. Eventually, a company will not need so many accountants or any position relating to finances. Automation is a good and bad thing for people. I've always wondered was it more expensive to have technology and lay off people or just pay people for their work. I think it would cost more to develop technology. Versus just paying humans to do the same job. Telemarketers are starting to lose their jobs now because of AUTOMATED messages.

It's a serious topic that Americans or anybody else should consider more. People should analyze and think if their job can be replaced or lost due to automation. Technology is going fast, I don't know if the jobs we have now can keep up!
