Although he quickly found his next job with Athena's help, which was still a job as a mechanic, Bieber felt that he had lost his former sense of security. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info He is feeling very anxious right now, afraid that he is in danger of losing his job again, because he has just married Rice, he is going to have a child, he needs a stable job, he needs to pay off the mortgage, he needs to prepare money for toys for the child

In short, Bieber is becoming a man, a man with family burdens, he needs to take on the responsibilities of the family, he needs to raise his own children, and there is nothing more reassuring than a stable job at this time.

But Bieber has never forgotten the company's fully automated garage, the empty but orderly garage. Bieber understands that the automated garage is at least five times more efficient, and it doesn't pay a dollar at all, and maybe, maybe it can pay for itself in just two years.

"Athena" Bieber was worried about his future, and he had to consult Athena.

"What's the matter?"

"I have a question, do you think robots will replace humans in the future?"

"According to existing research, robots will replace 70% of human jobs."

"So high? Doesn't that mean that most jobs can be replaced by robots? ”

"Yes, statistics show that at present, the production scale of automated factories accounts for 10% of the total production scale in the world, and the annual growth rate of automated production scale has been maintained at more than 40%, this growth trend is gradually expanding, and it is expected that after five years, more than 90% of the production plants of non-regional consumer goods will be automated."

"So fast?"

"Yes, there are research reports that this is a technological iteration, and those who refuse to change will be quickly eliminated, and behind this iteration are the hidden forces of mergers and monopolies, and factories that do not have enough funds for rapid iteration will be swallowed up."

"In addition to the factory, what about a mechanic like me?"

"Automobile repair, testing, maintenance industry is more suitable for the application of robots in the industry, this industry because of the problem of dispersion and regionality, the speed of robotization will be relatively slow, but still can not avoid being robotized, the more densely populated the city, the faster the speed of change."

"That is, I'm going to have to lose my job again sooner or later, right?"

"Yes."

"So what if I lose my job again?"

"Those standardized, procedural, low-complexity, and repetitive jobs will be replaced by robots, and those that deal with people, vague, and creative jobs will be difficult to replace. Depending on your experience and skills, you should be able to avoid being replaced by robots if you enter the car tuning industry. ”

"Car modification" Bieber thought.

。。。。。。。。

"Rice, what's wrong with you today? Don't seem to be happy? ”

"Honey, I'm unemployed"

"This" Bieber was shocked, he has been a little frightened lately, and he will be anxious when he hears about unemployment, "Did you resign or was you fired?" ”

"It's layoffs," Rice frustrated.

"Why?"

"Our boss bought a couple of office robots, and one of them was responsible for handling the financial stuff, so I was laid off"

Bieber was a little stunned when he heard this, but he didn't expect that the phenomenon that Athena had described was slowly becoming a reality, Rice was an accountant, dealing with numbers and documents every day, according to Athena's description, it should be a simple and repetitive job, and now Rice's work has also been replaced by robots.

What to do next?

Bieber is full of worries, because he and Rice's jobs happen to be the kind of simple skill-based jobs that are very easy to be replaced by robots, and now that Rice is unemployed, even if he goes back and looks for a new job, he still can't avoid being eliminated by robots again.

This phenomenon is obviously not unique, ask your friends around you, many of them have encountered the same problem recently, and they have all lost their jobs because of the large-scale application of robots. Just from the circle of friends, you can see that jobs are becoming more and more difficult to find, and the salaries are getting lower and lower.

If this continues, then widespread unemployment is bound to come, so what will happen in the future?

Bieber is anxious about his future and that of Rice

In order to plan for the future, Bieber found a new job at a tuning garage with the help of Athena, and this time the salary was not increased, but reduced by $500. But Bieber was frightened by the wave of robots, he was afraid that he would not change now, and when the widespread application of robots in the future led to a large-scale wave of unemployment in society, there would be no job opportunities, so he would rather temporarily reduce his salary, and resolutely entered the modified car industry.

Bieber still has the opportunity to change jobs or even change careers, but Rice is very unlucky, she has an average education and no shining work experience, so she has not been able to find the next job for a long time, and has to find a temporary job as a restaurant waiter.

The two of them had to save money on their incomes a lot, and now they cut almost all the expenses they could save except for the fixed monthly mortgage that they had to repay, and they didn't dare to spend any dollars casually.

As time went on, Bieber found that the atmosphere in the circle of friends was changing, becoming full of negative emotions and full of complaints. There are more and more unemployed people in the circle of friends, and if you ask those unemployed friends carefully, most of them have been replaced by robots.

Bieber himself is a blue-collar class, but when he observed the circle of friends, he found that not only those low-level repetitive skill positions were replaced, but many white-collar and even gold-collar jobs were also eliminated because of the widespread use of robots.

In the circle of friends, Bieber saw unemployed truck drivers, taxi drivers, as well as security guards, cleaners, workers in various factories, as well as those customer service and warehouse managers; These low-end blue-collar workers are losing their jobs on a large scale, and unfortunately, it is difficult for them to find new jobs, because similar jobs are being quickly eliminated by robots, and these jobs will soon become history, completely disappearing from the social division of labor of mankind.

Not only blue-collar workers are unlucky, but also those in editors, bank tellers, doctors, lawyers, programmers, music, painting, sculpture, and other industries are also facing the squeeze and competition of robots.

Bieber saw that some editors lost their jobs because the company bought artificial intelligence software that was specifically responsible for writing manuscripts, and bank tellers were replaced by robot tellers, and doctors were replaced by intelligent doctors

This trend of robots or artificial intelligence replacing human work is moving deeper and wider, and Bieber saw a stock trader lose his job and be replaced by an artificial intelligence automated trading system (to be continued). )
