See the video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Pq-S557XQU and the article, Who Killed American Unions?, at http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2012/06/who-killed-american-unions/258239/. Usually technological innovations over the last 260+ years often meant new jobs, new occupations, new industries, for more people. Technological innovations sometimes phased out or immediately eliminated old jobs, old occupations, and old industries, but one hopes that people who lost their jobs because of technological innovations will find new jobs. Now the video suggests that recent and future technological innovations that successfully combine robotics and artificial intelligence will mean fewer jobs because technology will be doing the work. If you are a believer of the concept of technological singularity, then the video will be “old news” to you. Anyway, what do you think of the video? Whether you agree or disagree with the video, you need to cite one or more sources to support your viewpoint.
