Ashley Taylor believes that robots and machinery are demolishing careers
Employment – everyone needs it but not many people have it. This is becoming a rising issue due to the automation of jobs such as long distance delivery drivers, production line workers and health care assistance. Therefore leading to a greater rise in benefit claims with a huge strain on our governments.
According to experts 10 million jobs in Britain alone could be lost in the next 15 years, forcing families to claim government money. It is almost as though humans are surplus to requirements.
Admittedly the automation of certain jobs can improve the quality of life we have by speeding up tasks such as self-service checkouts in supermarkets. However it seems to be short sighted to believe that this warrants replacing humans with machines. After all people are not commodities.
Inevitably one in five jobs will be affected by automation, scary thought right? It is like living through a science fiction movie where no one can control the machines. Just like self-service checkouts in Tesco when they have a mind of their own and decide that the bagging area scales have an issue.
Enough is enough humans must fight back and secure a place in the future for the younger generation.
