Final Draft

Every day we absolutely use technology. And we know it changed everything in every part of our life. We cannot live without technology in a society. Think about our daily lives. We naturally use it in a workplace, community, and in communication and socialization too. In other words, We heavily rely on technology. I insist that we will more dependent on it in the future, and human's job will be replaced by robots. You might say this is just a one of prediction about the future and will not come true. However, today's many capitalists and economist are concerned about this and reveal that the unemployment rate of laborer and modern technology development are related. In order to not be replaced by technology, We need to aware of its negative effects and think of the way how we counteract against it. Therefore, I insist that robots will take our jobs of the future for three reasons.
First, We are more heavily relying on technology in the future. As today's development of robot technology is getting higher, robot will be a big part in our life. It is true that a robot is more useful and effortless than human in working because one machine can do today in minutes what in year's past would have taken days to accomplish. In Rodney Brooks's talk transcript, Why we will rely on robots? Percentages of adults who are working age gone down slightly over the last 40 years. But within the next 40 year, It will be changed dramatically, even in China. As humans get older, humans get more weak, and we can not do workings as we used to do. So we want to use robots, and it is natural that robots will take our jobs.
Second, Unemployment rate of a laborer and technology development are related. According to the Book, "Race Against the Machine by MIT economists Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee", For three decades, wages had evaporated as a share of the economy. With the growth of the income inequality has been a global problem, the fall of labor becomes a big problem too. This Research supports my ideas with a graph of declining global labor shares. This data onto 50 countries reveals that "labor shares had fallen six percentage points in the 1980s markedly." As the digital revolution started unfolding in earnest during the 1980s , the cost of computing power fell precipitously. As a result, companies began investing in high-tech equipment instead of comparatively inefficient and expensive employees.
Third, Robot already replace many human jobs today. There are many Jobs that a robot already took away from human beings. One of this example is a bearer. In the past, human carried heavy things in a factory. But nowadays, carrying heavy things is almost the part of robots. They automatically move heavy things here over there. However, there are also many jobs that robot seems to take us. A housekeeper may perform many tasks such as vacuuming, mopping, sweeping, washing dishes, making beds and dusting. And these common tasks will be done by robots in the future. The promise of technology in 2035 predicts that automated domestic assistants will be in our house. And, robots already do many important surgeries. Many economists and scientist predict that robots will first take the doctor's work, a surgical robot is that an example. Furthermore, If there are people who die of gas suffocation by the cleaning in hazardous locations. Currently, place in these dangerous, robots will be sent because only repair is needed to them in a dangerous situation that damages larger happening even to gas, an explosion.
Someone will consider my ideas as one of imagination about the future. They oppose my argument insisting lack of robot technology and human's own ability for a reason. However, As robot technology develops, We will more heavily rely on it. Also, robots will affect human's unemployment rate, and this was already confirmed.
They firstly stated that "robots are not nearly as powerful and sophisticated as people starting to fear. There are big gaps between what humans want robots to do, and what robots can do. What that means is that there is still a huge gap between what humans do in jobs of current, and what robots can take. And it will be for decades." However, I disagree with this view because it is not reasonable. According to Busan KNN news, with the rapid development of industrial technologies, one-third of current human's job will be replaced by AI and robots within 20 year. It means that there are not big gaps between what humans want robots to do, and what robots can do. Robots can do what many people do in jobs today and actually do more efficiently than us. Do you think 20 years is the distant future? It is not so far into the future. For this reason, I think my opinion is true.
They secondly stated that "even robots are more powerful than humans, there are still many things that people can do but robots can't. For example, creativity, Innovation, exploration, art, science, entertainment, and caring for others. People have no idea that robots will do these things." However, I disagree with this view because it is not unimportant. Although robots can not do jobs requiring human's own ability such as creativity, Innovation, exploration, art, science, entertainment, and caring for others, but robots can do more efficiently in labor than humans. In fact, robot's role in working are getting important as time goes by because human's jobs which are dependent on labor are as many as those dependent on human's own ability such as creativity, entertainment. Moreover, It is obvious that the robot is more useful and effortless than humans in labor. 
To sum up, the dependence on a robot of human is getting higher as the robot technology develops dynamically. According to the Book, "Race Against the Machine by MIT economists Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee", human's job is threatened by robot technology, and it can be understood by the growth of an unemployment rate of laborer due to technology development. Moreover, many robots have already taken many of our jobs today. Although current robot technology is not enough as we fear and it seems distant future, and there are jobs that humans can do but robots can't, human's jobs are dependent on labor rather than on human's own ability such as creativity, entertainment, people whose job is dependent on labor will lose their jobs. It is true that our workings become more comfortable and effortless with technology development, but it means that our jobs are threatened by technology too. I strongly argue that robots will take our jobs in the future, and we also need to think of ways to take care of the casualties of our high-tech economy.

My Third Research

My research


Research proposal: This is Probably a Good Time to Say That I Don’t Believe Robots Will Eat All the Jobs 
Source: http://blog.pmarca.com/2014/06/13/this-is-probably-a-good-time-to-say-that-i-dont-believe-robots-will-eat-all-the-jobs/

My Topic:
Robots will take human's jobs in the future.

What I hope to learn from this source: 
To find sources about counter-arguments to my argument and weaken the counter-argument with stronger evidence on your part. 
Notes:
    This is probably a good time to say that I don’t believe robots will eat all the jobs.
    Why do I believe that?
    First, robots and AI are not nearly as powerful and sophisticated as I think people are starting to fear. Really. With my venture capital and technologist hat on I wish they were, but they’re not. There are enormous gaps between what we want them to do, and what they can do.
    What that means is there is still an enormous gap between what many people do in jobs today, and what robots and AI can replace.  And there will be for decades.
    Second, even when robots and AI are far more powerful, there will still be many things that people can do that robots and AI can’t. For example: creativity, innovation, exploration, art, science, entertainment, and caring for others. We have no idea how to make machines do these.
    Third, when automation is abundant and cheap, human experiences become rare and valuable. It flows from our nature as human beings. We see it all around us. The price of recorded music goes to zero, and the live music touring business explodes. The price of run-of-the-mill drip coffee drops, and the market for handmade gourmet coffee grows. You see this effect throughout luxury goods markets — handmade high-end clothes. This will extend out to far more consumers in future.
    Fourth, just as most of us today have jobs that weren’t even invented 100 years ago, the same will be true 100 years from now. People 50, 100, 150, 200 years ago would marvel at the jobs that exist today; the same will be true 50, 100, 150, 200 years from now.
    We have no idea what the fields, industries, businesses, and jobs of the future will be. We just know we will create an enormous number of them. Because if robots and AI replace people for many of the things we do today, the new fields we create will be built on the huge number of people those robots and AI systems made available. To argue that huge numbers of people will be available but we will find nothing for them (us) to do is to dramatically short human creativity.
    And I am way long human creativity.
Final Thoughts:
Through this research, I got an resources about counter-arguments to my argument.
From now on, I will refute their points and strengthen my argument.

Every day we absolutely use technology and we know it changed everything in every part of our life. We cannot live without technology in a society. Think about our daily lives. We naturally use it in workplace, community, and in communication and socialization too. In other words, We heavily rely on technology.

In order to not be replaced by technology, we need to aware of its negative effects and think of the way how we counteract against it. Therefore, I insist that robots will take our jobs in the future. There are three reasons supporting my idea.
First, We are more heavily rely on technology in the future.
As today's development of robot technology is getting higher, robot will be a big part in our life. It is true that a robot is more useful and effortless than human in working because One machine can do today in minutes what in year's past would have taken days to accomplish. In Rodney Brooks's talk transcript: Why we will rely on robots?, Percentage of adults who are working age gone down slightly over the last 40 years. But over the next 40 years, it's going to change dramatically, even in China. As we get older we get more frail, and we can't do all the tasks we used to do. So we want to use robots, and it is natural that robots will take our jobs.
Second, Unemployment rate of laborer and technology development are related.
According to Book: Race Against the Machine by MIT economists Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee, For three decades, wages have evaporated as a share of the economy. Just as the rise of income inequality has been a global phenomenon, so too has been a fall of labor.

Third, Robot already replace many human jobs today.
There are many Jobs that a robot already took away from human beings. One of this example is a bearer. In the past, human carried heavy things in a factory. But nowadays, carrying heavy thing is almost the part of robots. They automatically move heavy things here over there. However, there are also many jobs that robot seems to take us.

  Someone will consider my idea as a one of imagination about future. However, As robot technology develops, we will more heavily rely on it. Also, robots will affect human's unemployment rate, and this was already confirmed. Because of this, I think Robots will take our jobs in the future.
They first stated that even when robots and AI are far more powerful, there will still be many things that people can do that robots and AI can’t.

People 50, 100, 150, 200 years ago would marvel at the jobs that exist today; the same will be true 50, 100, 150, 200 years from now. But, Most of human's working is dependent on labor and  new jobs in the future will be about automation.  It it true that Robot affects human's unemployment rate, and robots will take almost of our jobs in the end.

To sum up, the dependence on robot of human is getting higher as the robot technology develops dynamically. According to Book: Race Against the Machine by MIT economists Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee, human's job is threatened by robot technology, and an unemployment rate of laborer and technology development are related. Moreover, many robots already take many our jobs today.  Although there is a job that humans can do but robots and AI can’t and many new jobs will be invented in the future, people whose job is dependent on labor will loss their jobs. The researchers argue that the technology boom can explain about half the drop in labor's share of the world's economy. That's great for stockholders. It's great for consumers, who get better, cheaper products. It might even be great for workers with the skills to thrive in the today's labor market. But it means we also need to think of ways to take care of the casualties of our high-tech economy. These changes, after all, aren't going away.

Refutation and concession

1. What is my thesis?

Robots will take our jobs in the future.
2. What is the opposite position?
Robots will not take our jobs in the future.
3. What arguments can I anticipate?
a) There is a job which humans 
can do but robots and AI can’t.
b) Many new jobs will be invented in the future.

4. How will I counter those arguments?
a) Job which humans can do but robots and AI can’t is small in number. 
b) Most of human's working is dependent on labor and  new jobs will be about automation. So Robots will take almost of our jobs in the end.

My Refutation and Concession
  Someone will consider my idea as an one of imagination about future. However, As robot technology develop, we will more heavily rely on it. Also, robots will affect human's unemployment rate and this was already confirmed. Because of this, I think Robots will take our jobs in the future.
They first stated that even when robots and AI are far more powerful, there will still be many things that people can do that robots and AI can’t. For example: creativity, innovation, exploration, art, science, entertainment, and caring for others. We have no idea how to make machines do these. However, Job which humans can do but robots and AI can’t is too small in number. It is obvious that robot is more useful and effortless than humans in working. People will require robots to do what they do and their jobs will be replaced by robots naturally.
They secondly stated that just as most of us today have jobs that were not even invented 100 years ago, the same will be true 100 years from now. People 50, 100, 150, 200 years ago would marvel at the jobs that exist today; the same will be true 50, 100, 150, 200 years from now. But, Most of human's working is dependent on labor and  new jobs in the future will be about automation.  It it true that Robot affects human's unemployment rate and robots will take almost of our jobs in the end.
  Related to both of those ideas, in addition, MIT economists Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee suggested this idea with graph of declining global labor share. As the digital revolution started unfolding in earnest during the 1980s, the cost of computing power fell precipitously. Moreover, They already confirmed that robot technology affected unemployment rate of laborer. it means we also need to think of ways to take care of the casualties of our high-tech economy. These changes, after all, aren't going away.

My Confirmation

1. What is my thesis?
Robots will take our jobs in the future.

2. What types of source am I using to defend my thesis? Book: Race Against the Machine by MIT economists Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee and Paul Krugman's column

3. Are my arguments mostly based on evidence, logic or emotion?
someone might say that my idea is just an imagination about future. But today there are many evidences supporting my idea that Robots will take our jobs in the future.  Book: Race Against the Machine by MIT economists Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee helped me to know unemployment rate of laborer and technology development are related.


 My Confirmation

It is obvious that robot technology is developing from day by day, and it will affect very big impact on our society. I insist that robots will take our jobs in the future. There are three reasons supporting my idea.
First, We are more heavily rely on technology in the future.
As today's development of robot technology is getting higher, robot will be a big part in our life. It is true that robot is more useful and effortless than human in working because One machine can do today in minutes what in years past would have taken days to accomplish. In Rodney Brooks's talk transcript : Why we will rely on robots?, Percentage of adults who are working age gone down slightly over the last 40 years. But over the next 40 years, it's going to change dramatically, even in China. As we get older we get more frail and we can't do all the tasks we used to do. So we want to use robots and it is natural that robots will take our jobs.
Second, Unemployment rate of laborer and technology development are related.
According to Book: Race Against the Machine by MIT economists Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee, For three decades, wages have evaporated as a share of the economy. Just as the rise of income inequality has been a global phenomenon, so too has been the fall of labor. This Research support my idea with graph of declining global labor share. This data for 56 countries and found that worldwide, workers' share of GDP had fallen roughly five percentage points since the 1980s. As the digital revolution started unfolding in earnest during the 1980s, the cost of computing power fell precipitously. As a result, companies began investing in high-tech equipment instead of comparatively inefficient and expensive employees. 
Third, Robot already replace many human jobs today.
There are many Jobs that robot already took away from human beings. one of this example is a bearer. In the past, human carried heavy things in factory. But nowadays, carrying heavy thing is almost the part of robots. They automatically move heavy things here over there. However, there are also many jobs that robot seems to take us. A housekeeper may perform many tasks such as vacuuming, mopping, sweeping, washing dishes, making beds and dusting. And these common tasks will be done by robots in the future. Actually, The promise of technology in 2035, predicte that automated domestic assistant will be in our house.
And, robots already do many important surgery. Many economist and scientist predict that robots will first take the doctor's work, surgical robot is that example. Furthermore, If there are people who die of gas suffocation by the cleaning in hazardous locations. Currently, place in these dangerous, robots will be sent because only repair is needed to them in a dangerous situation that damaging larger happening even by gas, an explosion.

Narration

My persuasive argument thesis is: We should think negative side effects of modern technology development in order to not be replaced by it.

1. What do people already know about my topic?
  People already know that robots will have a big effect on out lives. However, they don't know human will be threatened their jobs by robots.

2. What research has already been done about my topic?

3. What are the implications of my argument (What if I'm right? What if I'm right and people ignore me?) 
People would more concentrate on effect of the technology development and consider if our job will be replaced by robots. If people ignore, robots will do almost everything in the future, and most of human's jobs will be replaced by them.

My narration
 A pair of economists at the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business, Loukas Karabarbounis and Brent Neiman, are out with a new working paper showing that just as the rise of income inequality has been a global phenomenon, so too has been the fall of labor. They suggest the idea that human will be threatened their jobs by robots with two evidence that graph of declining global labor share and trend in log relative price of investment. For three decades, wages have evaporated as a share of the economy. The pair compiled data for 56 countries and found that worldwide, workers' share of GDP had fallen roughly five percentage points since the 1980s. As the digital revolution started unfolding in earnest during the 1980s, the cost of computing power fell precipitously.As a result, companies began investing in high-tech equipment instead of comparatively inefficient and expensive employees. The researchers argue that the technology boom explains about half the drop in labor's share of the world's economy. This research exactly explains relation between unemployment rate of laborer and technology development and support my idea that robot will take human's jobs in the future.

Introduction

Everyday we absolutely use technology and we know it changed everything in every part of our life. We cannot live without technology in a society. Think about our daily lives. We naturally use it in work place, community, and in communication and socialization too. In other words, We heavily rely on technology. I insist that we will more dependent on it in the future, and human's job will be replaced by robots. You might say this is just a one of prediction about future and will not come true. However, today's many capitalist and economist are concerned about this, and reveal that unemployment rate of laborer and modern technology development are related. In order to not be replaced by technology, we need to aware of its negative effects and think of the way how we counteract against it. 

1. Attention grabber -
I attracted the audience by describing how our lives connected to modern technology.

2. Explains the topic -
In the attention grabber I introduce the topic and the reason why I write this that we don't know why this idea is important to us.

3. My thesis -
My topic is that 'robots will take human's jobs in the future'. I think it is clear to describe the reasons for this.

2014년 9월 18일 목요일

Classical Argument

1. The introduction, which warms up the audience, establishes goodwill and rapport with the readers, and announces the general theme or thesis of the argument.
I will start by saying that my argument is very important. Most of people think technology only have a good effect and heavily rely on it. But my topic is that robots will take human's jobs in the future and the reason why I choose this idea as a topic is that people are not that conscious about it. In order to be not replaced by technology, we need to be aware of negative effects of technology development.
2. The narration, which summarizes relevant background material, provides any information the audience needs to know about the environment and circumstances that produce the argument, and set up the stakes-what’s at risk in this question. In academic writing, this often takes the form of a literature review.
I will give a basic idea that unemployment rate of laborer and technology development are related. As the digital revolution started unfolding in earnest during the 1980s, the cost of computing power fell precipitously. As a result, companies began investing in high-tech equipment instead of comparatively inefficient and expensive employees. The technology boom, the researchers argue, explains about half the drop in labor's share of the world's economy
3. The confirmation, which lays out in a logical order (usually strongest to weakest or most obvious to most subtle) the claims that support the thesis, providing evidence for each claim.
I will explain the reasons in this order. 1. Robot technology development will be more advanced in the future.  2. Unemployment rate of laborer and technology development are related. 3. Technology already has replaced many human jobs.
4. The refutation and concession, which looks at opposing viewpoints to the writer’s claims, anticipating objections from the audience, and allowing as much of the opposing viewpoints as possible without weakening the thesis.
1. It is not impressive because we cannot predict future just as we did in the past : Yes, prediction is not always true. But statistics reveal that relation between unemployment rate of laborer and technology development. 2. How can you prove it?: statistics. It is not hard to find some materials to prove the argument.
5. The summation, which provides a strong conclusion, amplifying the force of the argument, and showing the readers that this solution is the best at meeting the circumstances.
I will close with a summary of my previous points by arguing that people must consider how technology will affect us in the future to not be replaced by them. The only solution is that people are aware of this.

http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2013/06/will-the-robots-steal-your-paycheck-breaking-they-already-have/276935/

My Topic:
Robots will take human's jobs in the future.

What I hope to learn from this source: 
Relation between unemployment rate of laborer and technology development.

Notes:

  1. For three decades, wages have evaporated as a share of the economy. Meanwhile, the proportion of national income consumed by profits, dividends, and capital gains has steadily grown. Capital 1, Labor 0.
  2. Just as the rise of income inequality has been a global phenomenon, so too has been the fall of labor.
  3. The pair compiled data for 56 countries and found that worldwide, workers' share of GDP had fallen roughly five percentage points since the 1980s. 
  4. As the digital revolution started unfolding in earnest during the 1980s, the cost of computing power fell precipitously.
  5. As a result, companies began investing in high-tech equipment instead of comparatively inefficient and expensive employees.
  6. The technology boom, the researchers argue, explains about half the drop in labor's share of the world's economy
Final Thoughts:
This article provides me with some statistics and realistic evidence that an unemployment rate of labor has been increased since the digital revolution started during 1980s. This support help me to corroborate my idea.



Articulation

1) My argument Write your argument in one sentence. Then, spend some time explaining it. 
I want to argue that Robots will take human's jobs in the future. It is true that robot will make people
 live more convenient and comfortable life since technology has developed. But if we heavily dependent on technology, it will definitely causes many negative side effects. Some of these examples include loss of jobs due to a robots.


2) How I found my argument Explain how your research helped you find your argument. Or, in other words, how did your research evolve into your argument? Start with your research question.
My first research question was, why we will rely on technology? and this research explains me that why we will dependent on robots in the future. But I need to get some specific details about support of my idea that Robots will take human's jobs in the future.

3) New research questions What do you still need to know? What is your research plan?
I have several questions that need to be resolved.
a) Is an unemployment rate of laborer related to technology development ?
I'll continue browsing the internet and looking for interesting articles and keeping track of my research with blog posts.

4) Connections to the Harvard Sampler How is your argument connected to the Harvard Sampler? ANY CONNECTION IS VALID. Please focus on choosing a good argument first, then think about how it is related to the Harvard Sampler. I will help you think of the connection if necessary.
This argument has many connections to the Harvard Sampler. It obviously is directly related to the human mind.

My Topic:
Robots will take human's jobs in the future.

What I hope to learn from this source:
Some professional reason supporting my idea.

Notes:
  1. Well, Arthur C. Clarke, a famous science fiction writer from the 1950s, said that, "We overestimate technology in the short term, and we underestimate it in the long term." And I think that's some of the fear that we see about jobs disappearing from artificial intelligence and robots. That we're overestimating the technology in the short term. But I am worried whether we're going to get the technology we need in the long term. Because the demographics are really going to leave us with lots of jobs that need doing and that we, our society, is going to have to be built on the shoulders of steel of robots in the future.
  2. Percentage of adults who are working age gone down slightly over the last 40 years. But over the next 40 years, it's going to change dramatically, even in China. The percentage of adults who are working age drops dramatically. 
  3.  As we get older we get more frail and we can't do all the tasks we used to do. So It is obvious that robots will replace almost every humans in the future.
Final Thoughts:
I got a professional reason about my idea, but it is digress a little from my idea and abstract.
I need more specific details and support such as statistics.

Research Proposal

Research Proposal

What is my current topic?
Robots will take human's jobs in the future. we need to think negative effects of technology development.

What are my guiding questions?
will robot replace human?
will we rely more heavily on robots in the future?

What are my current thoughts?
We already know the development of technology become faster since few years ago, as we know technology changed everything in every part of our life. We will more heavily rely on technology and finally robot will replace human's jobs. 

What is the opposition?

Even when robots and AI are far more powerful, there will still be many things that people can do that robots and AI can’t. And just as most of us today have jobs that were not even invented 100 years ago, the same will be true 100 years from now.
