Ford’s Opinion on robots

My proposal is to show everyone that robots might be really helpful, but the disadvantages behind them will affect individual lives and will keep us jobless, Ford has mentioned in his book “Rise of the Robots” a similar idea when he said “We are running up against a fundamental limit both in terms of the capabilities of the people being herded into colleges and the number of high-skill jobs that will be available for them if they manage to graduate,” writes Ford. “The problem is that the skills ladder is not really a ladder at all: it is a pyramid, and there is only so much room at the top.” (Ford,2015)

It is hard to believe one day that we will give up our jobs to machines, but as Ford stated in his book “the robots are coming for (almost) all the jobs. They’re getting too smart, too flexible and too convenient. And that’s a problem, because if robots take all the jobs, our long march of progress may well go into reverse.”

Ford was totally correct when he said “a fundamental restructuring of our economic rules will be required.” But it’s not easy to see how this will exactly happen. Which leaves us behind specially that economic inequality is growing, robots are taking over more and more jobs and we are just here waiting for it to happen without applying any restrictions to avoid future problems.

Robots are not the enemy, the enemy is the group of people that are set on destroying themselves by building advanced machines and giving them a chance to do their own jobs that they are supposed to be doing. In 50 years we will no longer depend on ourselves because of the simple fact of having someone to do it for us. Let’s be real, who doesn’t want the easy way out?
