What Can You Do To Prepare For The Technological Automation? tvdmexonline.com /technological-automation/ TVD
Even the most tech isolated person might notice that there is a technological automation going on. While most politicians in the world continue to promise more jobs, at least one world leader acknowledge that the technological automation is changing the job market. That is the Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau. In a question session in the well-known site Quora he explains the investment the Canadian government is doing to help people to adapt to the new reality in the labor market. The era of technological automation isn’t only a proven reality. It’s developing fast. Like a Tsunami no-one can stop. Like it or not. Do you remember Kodak? The giant in the photo world. They dominated the market completely for decades. Who could imagine that this “stable” company should disappear completely from the map? Well, some people predicted what was going to happen. The people who already were heavily engaged and involved in the new environment of technological automation. Already 2012, the book “Race against the machine,” by the investigators Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee was published. The New York Times mentioned the upcoming publication already in October 2011. What is interesting and at the same time scary is that the same old history repeats. In my blog post of the 18th of January, 2017, “Why You Should Seriously Consider The Digital Life,” you’ll get a more in depth analysis what is going on in the digital world. The technological automation is not only taking over more of the market but also increasing in speed. In the video below, also included in the article mentioned above, some figures are revealed. The only difference since January is that the numbers are increasing from the prediction back then.
How To Jump Up On The Wave Of Technological Automation? As the increasing speed of the technological automation becomes more than obvious, two years ago BBC developed an app where you can type in your profession and get a good estimation of the probability that your job will remain or disappear. As you can notice, there are plenty of jobs that just will disappear due to the technological automation. For example, if you’re into telephone sales the risk is as high as 99% that your job will disappear within short, or better, a robot will take over the job. A study by The Oxford University together with Deloitte shows that about 35% of current jobs in the UK are at a high risk of technological automation over the next 20 years. The comparison with a Tsunami at the beginning of the article isn’t that bad. A Tsunami no-one can stop. But if you get information in due time, you will have an opportunity to prepare and be handling things quite well, once the Tsunami hits the shore.
