A recent article in the Washington Post by technology entrepreneur, Vivek Wadhwa says that, “the future will allow the human race to live longer and healthier and that robots will drive our cars, manufacture our goods and do our chores.”
In the not so distant past this type of talk was considered science fiction.
However, this really got me thinking. Google is already well past the conceptual stage with their “self-driving cars,” Amazon.com is experimenting with Drones to deliver our goods and Apple just hired some 10,000 robots to build the next iPhone. You can get almost anything delivered to your home including groceries and laundry pickup and delivery that has been available for years.
In the broadcasting business we have watched the paradigm shift of fewer people because of more technology.
What does all of this mean?
It will be up to us to work harder by educating ourselves to learn how to keep up with the technology and be more creative using it. So the future may not mean the end of hard work, we may just spend less time working because being creative isn’t necessarily as time consuming as 40-50 hour workweeks with robots doing the heavy lifting.
