Blog entry #5

I have been hearing a lot lately about the topic of a good portion of our countries jobs being taken over by robots and computers. I believe that it is a very scary thought especially to the families who depend on these jobs in order to put food on the table and a roof over their heads. Jobs such as truck drivers and cabs could possibly be taken over in the near future but some other jobs i believe will be taken over soon are any type of cleaning jobs, doctors, and even possibly teachers at all levels. You would think that these types of jobs would need to be done by a human but i believe that if technology can do it then someone will want them to teach are children or take care of our loved ones. I really do think that if any of these jobs were to be taken over by robots it would have a large negative affect on our economy when it comes to the lower class families. These jobs are what they do everyday to stay away from going bankrupt and foreclosure. It is already hard for most americans to find a good job but once these robots take over these jobs then it will be close to impossible for someone to find a steady job. We are already trying our best to get our lower class back on their feet and by taking away jobs such as these we will be destroying all of the progress we have already made. Personally i believe that it is already going to be very hard for my generation to get jobs right out of college. If these jobs are taken by robots then what are we supposed to do. All in all i think it would affect our economy and our country as a whole in a very negative way if these jobs were to be taken away from us.
