Technology and Jobs: Should Workers Worry?

Technology and Jobs: Should Workers Worry?

For centuries, people have worried that new technologies will destroy jobs without creating enough new ones, and every time the doomsayers have been proven wrong. But today, with disruptive advances occurring at dizzying speed, some worry that the time may finally have come when more jobs are destroyed by technology than are created. One 2013 report by Oxford University researchers concluded that 47 percent of U.S. jobs are threatened by automation. Should workers be worried, or is the fear overblown? Is technology - from robots to intelligent digital agents - our friend or a threat? If the latter, what do we need to do to ensure employment by the middle class and others? How can we reorganize our business and economic system to avert more economic turmoil?

This video comments how computers have become in many fields more efficient than humans. thanks to the development of technology, that in twenty years most of the work could be replaced by robots. I think that's wrong, because what actually seeks to do with technology is to create more effective ways of working and with less human labor required not creating in someway somebody to do the work that a human can do. Even though those processes are not created or configured yet. Nowadays, no robot can develop own capacity and reason to unforeseen situations .For example, customer services by phone or internet, we can now perform these tasks without a person and by ourselves thanks to computers. On the issue of marketing something similar happens. You don´t need someone to do the job for you, thanks to the internet and social networks is something that actually we can do.
If we have someone who know how to think by him/herself and have reasons capacity why creating somthing that is not possible to work and it could costs a lot of money? It's just absurd.
