What happens if robots take the jobs?

I will discuss the interesting points in this article, the major points which will discuss. The emerging technologies talked about in the report, which one do I believe a high potential of taking over people’s jobs? Why do I think so, which one do I believe the lowest potential of taking over people’s jobs? What are my reasons, and how have some, or all of these emerging technologies impacted our life? These impacts can be positive, negative, or both.

I believe a high potential of taking over people’s jobs, it is robots. I think that because robots become part of our life, robots can do routines jobs instead of human and the researcher in this area work on making these robots smarter and making decisions like a human, I think this is not easy but in the future, the robots will able to do a lot of jobs more than today. In the future, robots will become in our home. Robots can do some jobs faster than humans and more accurately than humans.

Center for Technology Innovation reported in its article “In 2013, for example, there were an estimated 1.2 million robots in use. This the total rose to around 1.5 million in 2014 and is projected to increase to about 1.9 million in 2017.5 Japan has the largest number with 306,700, followed by North America (237,400), China (182,300), South Korea (175,600), and Germany (175,200). Overall, robotics is expected to rise from a $15 billion sector now to $67 billion by 2025” (West, 2015, p.2).

I picked some examples which show robots can do it, “In Japan, there is a new hotel called Henn-na that uses robots to check people in and escort guests to their rooms. The robotic receptionist speaks Japanese or English, depending on the preferences of the guest” (West, 2015, p.3).

I believe the lowest potential of taking over people’s jobs, it is not easy to choose one but I think the lowest potential is autonomous vehicles. Although autonomous vehicle’s researchers try to enter new techies, although I think to make vehicles make decisions these need a lot of time and improving this area depend on Machine Learning, algorithms and computer vision so, make improvements in the autonomous vehicle have a relationship with improving algorithms and machine learning techies. On another hand, we need to ask ourselves questions will these autonomous cars replace public transformation, will it become safety, will it able to make right decisions like a human, and do the roads ready for them (Eichenholz, 2018).

Emerging technologies impacted our life

There are many positive impacts on the level of the workforce, these emerging technologies will increase the jobs result for that the market needs a lot of employees who have specific skills such as in machine learning area today required peoples with strong skills in problem-solving, critical thinking, strong stoneware engineering, adult mathematical skills, and strong research skills.

In the health area, these emerging technologies “allowing researchers to better understand genetic diseases through the use of predictive models” (Elite data science, 2018, para.8), discovering diseases early which effort on people’s health and making your lives more health.

Augmented reality in education, we able to use augmented reality to simulation some scientific experiments and exploring the space, I use an application to define stars that I see in the sky. And we can follow some natural phenomena without a telescope.

There are some negative impacts, these technologies will be a negative effect on society’s social intelligence, digital responsibility reported “Too much time interacting with technology and too little time interacting with humans at the same room can lead to some serious social difficulties. For instance, girls ages 8 to 12 who spend a lot of time-consuming media and attempting to multitask report lower self-esteem and more difficulty socializing compared to their less media-driven peers, according to a study by Stanford researchers” (Digital, n.d, para.1).

How Egypt debt and aid impact a society’s overall well-being.

The overall well-being has decreased deeply after 2014 when the US Dollar rate increased from 8 Egyptian pounds to 20 Egyptian Pounds ($1 = 20 EGP). This increase led to many economic problems because Egypt depends on many exports basic items and other products. At the same time, a lot of international companies left the Egyptian market, many local companies stopped produce and expelled employees, and another important income resource such the tourism reduced dramatically.   The Egyptian economic dropped in many problems from 2014 to the present. The government has increased dependent on debt and aids. As reported: "Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly announced that Egypt’s external debt had reached a record high of $92.64 billion (36.8 percent of the GDP) as of June 2018, an increase of 17 percent in the course of a single year. External debt is compounded by rising domestic debt, which reached 3.4 trillion Egyptian pounds ($190 billion) as of the end of 2017, a 12 perce...

Fear & Loathing in America

Discuss the article "Fear & Loathing in America" that is written by Thompson. I picked an important question from this short story which is what is the relationship between Osama Bin Laden and September-11 attacks. So, I chose to read about this point. I picked the article titled "Bin Laden, in a statement to U.S. people, says he ordered Sept. 11 attacks" that is written by Maggie Michael. And  It was taken up the Bin Laden's video that published on Al-Jazeera television, what you said on this video, Bin laden's message for the USA governments, his message for Americans and why did 11-9 attack.  In our Islamic culture, Allah asks us don't kill or terrorize anybody and orders us don't kill children, women, and the older people. Allah asks us to spread peace, we order our rights by peace methods, and we only attack the enemy If they attacked us. We can notice that from Allah saying "  Fighting has been enjoined upon you while it is...

Data science is the oil of the future II

Discovering the future, in this essay, I will discuss an important topic called data science. Data science became more popular since 2015. I think data science is one of the future jobs and data science will help the countries world improving the status of economic.  In this essay, I will talk about what is data science, what are the skills a data scientist needs, and why data science is one of the future jobs. The first time I hear about data science when I had started my a trip on learning programming. Data Science is a field that interested in studying data in the past and present to predict the future.  Data Science is one of the fields of artificial intelligence Haider defined a data scientist as " data scientist as someone who finds solutions to problems by analyzing big or small data using appropriate tools and then tells stories to communicate her findings to the relevant stakeholders" (Haider, 2015, p.46). I think a data scientist must have hard skills in math,...
