Rapid Transition of Tech

JOB LOSS! I truly believe technology intelligence will eventually lead up to jobs being lost, moreover I believe it will cause more technical issues and longer wait times for something to be prepared if these devices mess up on the job. According to The Coming Merging of Mind and Machine by Ray Kurzwell, the intelligence of machines will exceed that of humans. I totally agree! Just watching how a lot of things are being merged from regular workers to devices cease to amaze me. It’s one of the most rapid transitions going on today. Let’s take a look at some simple things, you walk into some fast food restaurants now and what do you notice? An electronic menu! Which means, there goes one less job for the workers to put up the paper menus, their menus are now being controlled by someone behind the scenes. As I previously stated, technology intelligence will lead up to technical issues as well as long wait times to repair the issues. One perfect example, I once was a front of the house trainer in a restaurant called Smashburger, our menus were Tv’s turned to the side and also electronic. I can’t even begin to tell you the amount of times our menus would reboot themselves for about 15 minutes to a half an hour while we had a line full of customers, past the door curving to the bathroom. It was so embarrassing! We ended up giving them coupons and some customer just couldn’t bare to sit and wait through the rebooting and I do not blame them. We had to call “Smash Technicians” in order for them to walk us through what we can do to rush the process and no it did work out each time. So technology intelligence I would say has its convenience and inconvenience. For iPhone users, Siri in my opinion would be a technology intelligence convenience. When no one is around she got you.
