Machines In America

Robots can effect employment in a negative way,as said by the author Kelly “It may be hard to believe… 70 percent of today’s occupation will likewise be replaced by automation...even you will have your job taken away by machines”(Kelly Page.300), this quote comes to show the negative aspect of robots taking over the world in the near

The portal behind her shuts down ,and she sees what robots have done to humans in America. She observes that a war broke out between robots and humans, because robots wanted to seize the planet. Robotic machines in the sophisticated high-end laboratories converted the supercomputers into their slaves to produce deadly and incurable virus strains which could pose a serious threat not only for the country but also to the entire human race. The most important and frightening part was that the robots controlling the army and the navy installations of the United States of America, which house the long range missiles, warheads, and above all the nuclear arsenal.These robots could destroy the entire country in seconds. It does not appear great for humans on the grounds that robots are extremely durable and tough to defeat.

“Where am I? What happened? Why a… wait where are they” ace said as his green eye scanned the room for his friends but saw no signs of them. Why is it so dark in here? he thought as he pushed himself off the cold ,dusty floor and started to walk in the terribly lit hallway

The U.S. economy appears to be coming apart at the seams. Unemployment remains at nearly ten percent, the highest level in almost 30 years; foreclosures have forced millions of Americans out of their homes; and real incomes have fallen faster and further than at any time since the Great Depression. Hamilton Nolton says that “In reality, all of the money has gone to the rich” (Nolan). Many of those laid off fear that the jobs they have lost will never return. The secure, often unionized, industrial jobs that provided wealth, security, and opportunity will never return. They are probably right.

The economy is like a watch, each gear grinds together in order to allow the hands to rotate flawlessly. What happens if one of those gears may get stuck? Starting in the early 1970s, middle and working class wages in America stagnated. From the 1970s to today, the average hourly wage "has only risen 9 percent" (Saez) while the dollar has inflated approximately five-hundred and five percent (US Inflation Calculator). These wages have continued to stagnate as the top twenty-percent wealthiest Americans have had their wages quadrupled since the 1980s (Inequality.org). This disproportionate growth of wealth in society 's elite classes have left the economy in freefall.

We as humans always look for something greater. We can find that if we stick together and push the world to continue down the road of further automation, which would end in a fully automated luxury society. A society like this is the idea that with automation of robots that humans can live a life completely devoid of the need to work for basic necessities or that of most needs. This does not assume that humanity will lose any ability function alone

W.H. Auden speaks of labor, machines, and human skill and the future of the human race. Auden being a well respected poet and was the chancellor of the Academy of American Poets brings up several good points, is skill or less labor more important, and what is the path for the future of the human race. Advancing technology is around every day changing the course of human history, for better or worse. Machines changing how everything is looked at by people and how they can be used to solve problems for us. Is this a problem? Do machines deteriorate skill that is needed for people to perform tasks? Are machines truly beneficial or are they causing more harm to the economy and production? Skill is more important than the labor from machines;

While that dystopian future may seem rather extreme, a more modest proposal would follow that robots may not be eating babies, but they uncertainly threaten the value of our time within a workplace. Machines, to many companies, are a

Many of the goods and services we depend on daily are now supplied by intelligent, automated machines rather than human beings. Robots are doing the things we should be doing. People are now ordering stuff online so they don’t have to deal with other people. Conversations are now mainly on electronics whether it’s on a phone call or texting. Humans are losing relationships and human interaction.

This is because machines have evolved so much that they can now be programmed to do the jobs of humans. This is bad for workers but good for companies because machines can work faster, longer and cheaper than people do and their quality of work is better. This is because they are doing what they were made to do the job is their purpose. For example cashiers are everywhere because they are needed, well not anymore because now we have self checkout machine that are more confident that having a real person do the job. This machine save the company money and the customer time so it's all around a better option. The thing is that the only reason machines like this are around is because someone was smart enough to not only think of the machine but create it as well in which helped technolgy take a step in evolving.

Over time our lives seem to have become more and more integrated with our technology. Some may say that this is a very bad thing because this change may result in the loss of jobs for millions of people. Jobs such as, cashiers, bankers, legal assistants, and maybe even taxi drivers. The future may appear bleak at first, but the truth of the matter is that robots taking over our simple and automatable jobs just mean that our jobs can evolve with the technology. A very similar thing happened during the industrial revolution when technologies were developed that massively increased the efficiency and yield of farming. This in turn led to a vast increase of food in the country which led to a lesser need for everyone to be a farmer. With a massive amount of food, former farm workers, and advanced technology, a business of mass production and manufacturing began. The loss of jobs due to technology led to a

One multi-tasker bot, from Momentum Machines, can make (and flip) a gourmet hamburger in 10 seconds and could soon replace an entire McDonalds crew. A manufacturing device from Universal Robots doesn’t just solder, paint, screw, glue, and grasp, it also builds new parts for itself on the fly when they wear out or bust. And just recently Google won a patent to start building worker robots with personalities. There is a predisposition that robots and automation can do one thing and one thing only. There are currently machines that do many things that would take multiple people to do. In the near future cars may be able to drive themselves and cooking may be completely automated. There is no limit where automation could take us and depending on the perspective you take, its benefiting the world.

We find automation in ever thing in our life from your TV at home to your machines at work. Automation is made to make our life so much easier in every way. And it will advance more and more so that" ultimate automation will make our modern industry as primitive and outdated as the stone edge man looks to us today" which is predicted by Albert Einstein. Automation has a lot of applications so we will talk about it and how much humans need automation to facilitate their lives. We will take about industrial, home, waste management, highway system and retail (food and drinks- stores) automation.

In 21st century we could see more machines in operation as technology is advancing. However, the fact that as new innovation is in the development, to make them a reality more precise work is required. Human labor, machines, robots etc. are a crucial factor in the production of the upcoming gadgets. Whereas in present time, more machinery or automation is being used than the traditional human force. This issue is a widespread discussion and many views in support can be seen. Yet, every coin has two sides, and this topic there are numerous pros and cons. Therefore, to gain clarity on this subject I made an interview with Dr. Matthew Franchetti, Undergraduate director of MIME, University of Toledo. Dr. Franchetti is a professional in the
