With the high rise of technology and its welcome in the society, it will be right to categorically state that in the next few years, most humans will be replaced by robots - I mean to say, many people will lose their livelihood and in a struggle to regain them, may result in the loss of lives.
Yes, you can re-read it for better understanding.
Robots have taken over the jobs of many people and will continue till when God knows. Rampant is the case of Self-driving cars UBER just launched, amongst others.
As a popular quote by Elbert Hubbard goes, "One machine can do the work of fifty ordinary men. No machine can do the work of one extraordinary man", which category do you fall in? Do you fall in the category of ordinary men whose works are being taken by robots or in the category of extraordinary men whose work no robot can do? I mean can a robot do the work you can?
This maybe a charge to those in charge, whose works no robot can do or an admonition to those still living in a facade of "let me just work to make ends meet". Well, I believe the former Uber drivers in Pittsburgh whose jobs have been taken or is gradually taken by Self-driving cars can testify.
Recently, a delivery robot was sighted in San Francisco, a test run of startup Starship Technologies' autonomous robot, which shows what may be the future of on-demand delivery. Starship's robotic couriers will pick up goods from a centrally located logistics hub or storefront and ferry them to homes within a 2-mile radius. The company hopes to price its delivery fee between $1 and $3.
"I got a delivery from a little roaming cooler, it looks like," Julie O'Keefe, tells the San Francisco Chronicle.
Through a partnership with Mercedes Benz, the company is also experimenting with loading a bunch of robots into a modified Sprinter van that drops off bots along its route.
For now, Starship wants to employ the bots - which use cameras, GPS, software, and the company's proprietary maps to navigate the world around and to help senior citizens and people with mobility issues get what they need.
The startup has already begun testing in Europe, encountering more than a million pedestrians, and plans to start tests in the Bay Area in the next couple of months.
Still contemplating whether to take charge or to be taken charge of - just wanna work to make some ends meet? Well, I suggest you dig deep, find that true potentials of yours no man or robot can fit in, put it to work!
