If robot takes your job perhaps you will think differently. And robots on a long run would be much more qualified then humans to do ANY job in a near future, some ( well more then some ) now.
If a robot is going to take my job, then I will shift to some other job. If necessary, I will get the additional training needed for that. There is no point in blocking innovative technology, saying that people will become jobless.
In some parts of the world, when computer was first introduced, there were mass protests by these employee unions. They were saying that it will take away the jobs. These people set fire to computers, thrashed the places where they were deployed. (Unfortunately, I was an eye witness to such actions).
And you know what happened in the end? The MNCs moved to some other place where the computers were allowed. The unions and their followers lost their jobs, while the other guys saw their salaries getting increased by many times.
Strictly IMO, I believe that giving a $100,000 employment to a single person is much better than giving a $5,000 employment to 10 people.
So you are qualified to do one job that you did for decade or more and then you will switch to other job like that? Yeah bi of training if needed, like that job doesn't have people who are doing that for decades? Technology is one thing and it has a wide range not just robotics...
Computer did caused lots of jobs to be lost, not nearly as it was predicted but it did. Robot can do what computer cant since you still need a human to operate one. Robots can be programmed and left alone, only to be checked for maintenance.
MNC stands for?
It is better, if that person is you, right? But i bet if the things are different that you would chose to receive 20,000$ and 4 of your friends if that will save your job.
