My
Take :
Ø Second
industrial revolution ?.................. [ 21 Sept 2015 ]
Extract :
But Western countries are not
resigned to their fate of a lowered " Standard of Living "
They are gearing up to usher : The Second Industrial Revolution !
In the form of Robots :
Robots manufacturing cars / appliances
/ machinery / anything
Robots 3 D printing
products from designs downloaded from Net
Robots managing health care in
hospitals
Robots serving food in
restaurants
Robots carrying out office jobs
Robots teaching
in schools
Robots entertaining
Robots everywhere !
And these are :
Robots which work 24 hours/day and do not ask for a salary
Robots that do not " go slow "or go on a strike
Robots that do not demand "
Quotas / Reservations "
Robots that do not take holidays
or take " Sick Leave "
Robots that do not resign / demand promotion
Robots that neither envy other
robots nor sabotage
Robots that do not complain
against unpleasant work
Robots that do not get tired and need rest
Robots whose production does
not drop after working for 8 hours
Robots that do not demand "
Overtime Pay " @ 200 % of normal
Robots that perfectly co-ordinate their tasks
with other robots
Robots that willingly " retire " at any age , whenever required
Robots that do not demand Unemployment
/ Retirement Benefits
Robots which may , some
day , provide you with emotional support when you are sick / depressed !
And this Second Industrial Revolution
is NOT going to take a hundred years to reach the shores of India
With spread of DIGITAL INDIA /
Internet / Mobile Apps , it may take , no more than 20 years !
Dear Ministers / Economists :
If you are wondering why “
Automation is Inescapable
“
, you may find some clue here :
Ø Age of
Automation……………………………………………………………… [ 25 Feb 2016 ]
Extract :
Way back
in 1950 , Norbert Weiner wrote in
his famous book ( The
Human Use of Human Beings ) :
" Let us remember that the automatic machine , whatever we think of any
feelings it may have or may not have, is the precise economic equivalent of slave
labor
Any labor which competes with slave labor, must accept the economic
conditions
of slave labor
it is perfectly clear that this will
produce an unemployment situation, in
comparison with which the present recession and even the depression of the
thirties will seem a pleasant joke
This depression will ruin many industries - possibly even the industries which have
taken advantage of the new potentialities
However , there is nothing in the industrial tradition which forbids an industrialist
to make a sure and quick profit , and to get out before the crash touches him
personally "
