Hi,
After SIXTY years of warnings the press has finally gotten the message!!!!!!!!!!WE ARE IN A TECHNOLOGICAL REVOLUTION AND JOBS ARE BEING LOST IN AMERICA.
This blogger guesses the Press caught on when their newspapers began to disappear into the web and TV found itself competing with the web. AND IT'S JUST GOTTEN A GOOD START, FOLKS, AND FAR FROM OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But you knew that!!!!!!!!!!YOU READ ONE OF MY EARLY BLOGS WHEN this blogger DISCUSSED THE IMPACT OF THE TECHNOLOGICAL REVOLUTION.
The recession caused by the HOME MORTGAGE MARKET BUST was not the MAIN factor of joblessness in our country. THE TECHNOLOGICAL REVOLUTION was and is the main source of JEOPARDY and THE LOST jobs will no longer BE EXISTANT. Unfortunately, many of these jobs in the SERVICE INDUSTRY CAME INTO BEING AFTER THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION AND NOW ARE BEING DESTROYED BY NEW TECHNOLOGY.
Has there been any concerted effort on the part of our PROTECTIVE AND CONTROLLING GOVERNMENT FORCES TO RESTRUCTURE OUR WORK FORCE??????????. DAMNED LITTLE nor has the RETRAINING TAKEN PLACE THAT IS NECESSARY TO REEMPLOY ALL THESE UNEMPLOYED CITIZENS FOUND A VOICE IN GOVERNMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Unfortunately, a lot of the SOFTWARE technology being developed has become more efficient than people in the last ten years or more, COMPUTERS HAVE RISEN TO THE FOREFRONT OF EMPLOYMENT SO THAT "SCI- FI" HAS BECOME A REALITY. THE MACHINES NOW RUN US!!!!!!!!!!!! AND WE AIN'T SEEN NOTHIN' YET!!!!!!!!!!!
Job categories that have been stable and effective SINCE THE LAST MAJOR DEPRESSION (THE 1930S) including, major employment areas in offices and on business staffs in all parts of the economy are being replaced by machines and software. We now have creative robots that do tons of jobs (NOT JUST MANUFACTURING) not really considered robot material in the past. All those wonderful I-PHONES AND TABLET PORTABLE COMPUTERS are chaniging the necessity of business locations and will eventually change the topography of the country as more people WORK FROM WHEREVER. WE BECOME TEMPORARY ROBOTS.
Labor economists say that in the United States 7.5 million of the jobs that were lost in the recent depression were jobs paying $40,000 to $68,000.. TWO PERCENTof the 3.5 million new jobs since 2009 are MIDDLE pay. Nearly seventy percent LOW PAY with 29 percent WELL PAYING with many of those due to RETRAINING-WHICH MAY NOT BE PERMANENT.. Experts are predicting that the workforce will continue to be eroded by a loss of millions more jobs to technology and machines as the SOFTWARE becomes even more sophisticated. Economists in EUROPE predict a dire future, where jobs have been as hard hit as in America for mid-pay jobs EVEN THOUGH THE COMMUNISTS' HAVE TIGHTLY CONTROLLED JOB EDUCATION AND JOB SELECTION. EUROPE'S loss of jobs hit 7.6 million from 2008 into 2012 and they predict it COULD DOUBLE THAT FIGURE IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
The jobs that have been on leading edge of technology and benefitted from this surge have been the software engineers and app creators but they may even lose to their own machines as technology eliminates even sophisticated thinkers. THIS IS THE MAIN PROBLEM THAT IS CAUSING RECESSION, DEPRESSION, AND THE ECONOMY BUST. IT IS THE MORE SOPHISTICATED BROTHER TO THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION WITH LESS RESTRAINTS AND GREATER INVASION INTO OUR LIVES WHILE OUR SOPORIFIC APPROACH TO IT IS NOTHING SHORT OF SHOCKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS IS NOT A NEW PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOWEVER, PEOPLE APPEAR TO ADJUST INCREDIBLY SLOWLY TO DOOMSDAY PREDICTIONS AND ESPECIALLY DOOMSDAY MACHINE PREDICTIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For almost sixty years manufacturing jobs have disappeared replaced by robots and machinery run by software. THIS BLOGGER HATES TO TELL YOU THIS, FRIENDS, BUT THOSE MACHINES MAKE FEWER MISTAKES AND IT'S THAT EFFICIENCY THAT IS GOBBLING UP THE SERVICE INDUSTRY THAT EMPLOYS 2/3 OF THE WORKERS IN MOST DEVELOPED COUNTRIES LIKE OURS. That means the offices and retail plus all business we use every day.
Technology is now popular with all employers including schools and all medical facilities. Even nonprofits use it and of course, the military and government. REPETITIVE TASKS LIKE BOOKKEEPING, FILING, PARALEGALS, PUBLISHING, ALL CREATIVE REPETITION, PLUS JOBS LIKE GROCERY CHECKERS, AND SO FORTH ARE SPOT IN THE FIRING LINE OF TECHNOLOGY ALONG WITH OTHER OBVIOUS REPETITIVE TASKS THAT CAN BE TECHNOLOGICALLY SCOOPED UP. EVEN SOME JOBS THAT WE CONSIDER TOO SOPHISTICATED LIKE DRUGGISTS CAN FALL TO THE TECH BOOM.
Two books on the current problems:"Race Against the Machine" Andrew McAfee and "The Lights in the Tnnnel", Martin Ford. These may enlighten you on the subject.
SO WHERE HAVE WE BEEN LIVING???????????? ON THE MOON??????????
Where's our RETRAINING OF JOBS?????????? OR DON'T WE YET KNOW WHAT JOBS TO RETRAIN FOR??????????This blogger believes the KEY TO THE LACK OF PREPARATION for this CHANGE IS HIDDEN IN THE NEED FOR AN IMPORTANT MACHINE.
WE NEED A MACHINE AND SOFTWARE PROGRAMS TO PREDICT WHAT JOBS THE COMING MACHINES WILL DESTROY AND TO PREDICT THE NEW JOBS FOR THE NECESSARY TRAINING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BOXED IN!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE "SCI-FI" PREDICTION THAT HUMANS COULD BECOME THE ARCHITECTS OF THEIR OWN OBSOLESCENCE AND REPLACED BY THEIR TECHNOLOGICAL WORKFORCE IS COMING TRUE!!!!!!!!!! MACHINES HAVE APPEARED WELL OVER THE HORIZON AND MILLIONS OF JOB LOSSES ARE STILL PREDICTED FOR THE FUTURE. CALLING ALL NERDS TO THE RESCUE!!!! SAVE THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!
HEY--YOU BILL GATES LOOK ALIKES--- GET AT IT !!!!!!!!!!!! UNCLE SAM NEEDS YOU!!!!!!!!!!!! ENLIST IN THE SOFTWARE WAR AGAINST POVERTY AND UNEMPLOYMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!
IT'S YOUR PATRIOTIC DUTY TO SAVE AMERICA AT LEAST !!!!!!!!!!!
CHEERS, CONNIE
