Will machines eventually take on every Job?

The global work force has been changing thanks to the automatic machines that perform jobs at high rates of speed and accuracy. Humans are no longer necessary in a wide variety of jobs since machines have replaced them. Machines are being designed to increase the output of goods and do the work of several men without needing breaks. Nowadays, technology allows people to manipulate mechanical devices through a remote control. In fact, the current smart technology does not even need a control to command a machine to do an activity; the machine itself accomplishes the task once programed to do so. A capable machine might eventually be replacing the entire work of a man as technology quickly advances.

In the United States, one of the most popular jobs is truck driving, at least in twenty-nine states. This job is not necessarily desired as a career rather, it is a job that is available, its pay is good, and a driving machine has not replaced it yet. However, it is one of the next jobs in the list to become computerized, controlled and driven by itself. If machines replace truck drivers, as many as 3.5 million people are going to be unemployed. This unemployment problem would represent a big issue to the country and indeed to the drivers’ families.

Technological breakthroughs represent a serious danger to the whole world, specifically to 47 % of U.S population whose jobs could be done by a computer. The issue is alarming but as robots take over many jobs, new ways of laboring appear as well. In the past many jobs have disappeared because of automation. However, many other jobs have come about because of technology. Overall, the creation of machines has brought forth more benefits rather than negative results for societies. With the simple push of a button, humans have saved time, improved production, and meliorated the quality of goods. All this is something that would not have been accomplished without the invention of machines.
