When the newest technologies are released to the public, it is met with excitement and curiosity. One does not generally associate new technology as something that could be potentially hazardous or disadvantageous. Such an idea is mocked in big budget Hollywood films such as Terminator or The Matrix. However, the article makes one of the boldest of claims, namely that technology is consuming jobs as stated, "machines automate processes and do the work of 10 people with one computer". A valid point and at first glance a rather frightening perceptive. However, fields in technology are some of the highest in demand and are expecting to see a surge in job openings through 2020. In other words, there is more a demand than there is a supply of people to fulfill the jobs. Yet, one should not dismiss the assumption that more jobs could be available if not for the disadvantage of technology. Perhaps the only solution is for individuals to chase the surplus market of opening positions or for society to advance so far in technology that the machines do everything for the people.It doesn't seem practical to accept the Wall-E scenario of allowing the machines to run everyone's lives, therefore one should learn technology in a manner as one may learn how to walk or write.
