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. There are three reasons supporting my ideas.
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. So I strongly argue my argument is right, and from now on I will refute my counter argument's points.
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. Actually, jobs that humans can do but robots can't are too small in number because our jobs are dependent on labor rather than 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. For this reason, I think my opinion is more reasonable.
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.
