The use of robot in the world is really affecting the economy and also causing unemployment.
If you build a company and you are making 1 million dollars as profit every month and then spends 6000 thousand dollars to pay your works and then you are given the opportunity to buy robots for 1 million dollars that will do the jobs your works are doing without it having faults for 10 years won't you go for it there by sacking your workers.
In the next 10 years there will be high rate of unemployment in the world because job's that should be done by humans are now given to robots and by so doing it will also affect the economy of the world.
Of course, robotization of work processes will greatly affect the global economy and change the role of humans in performing routine work. Despite the fact that you present this information as something negative, in fact, there is also plenty of positive in it. Robotization of work processes will free up millions of man-hours that were spent on monotonous routine work and will allow these human resources to be channeled into a creative direction (or watching Netflix
). Unemployment still exists today, even without robots. So, this is not something new introduced by robots. Many people who will be replaced by robots will be able to adapt and retrain, mastering new specialties. Also, robotization will create new specialties that only people can perform. Not everything can be done by robots. So, robots, leaving some people without work, will at the same moment create new jobs.
Progress can't be stopped, and instead of whining about it, it is better to try to adapt to changing working conditions. If you don’t want to remain unemployed, then master new professions that will be in demand in the new world of robots.
