5-Critical Thinking, Ethics, and Civic Responsibility
There are many jobs that replace humans with robots, the most commonly known are the ones that replaced the assembly line worker with precision robots. The replacing of the air-force pilot with unmanned drones, or even bomb defusing robots taking over for bomb defusers. There are numerous robots that can take over for some of the simplest jobs and the number will continue to grow with each technological advance.
The benefits of replacing people in the workplace are numerous to start with some money can be saved, as robots don't take holiday or sick breaks. When it comes to military uses the benefit is the ability to keep humans out of harms way. When defusing a bomb its safer and quicker just to send in a robot to explode it. This is quicker since they just take the bombs and blow them up anyways. The same applies for unmanned drones, keeping people out of the equation and losing so much weight allows the delivery system to be quiet and small. This keeps people safe and the missions secret as the drones can be used for spying or sending in missiles.
The negatives are what to do in tight spots with the bomb-defusing robots or if the area is full of innocent lives. The unmanned drones would not be able to fly for to long as battery life and range of controller would limit most missions but as we've seen with the current administration we can use these drones for assassinations keeping soldiers out of harm's way. With the change in the factory one could argue that it would hurt the economy through the decline of human labor, impacting the spending money for normal people and as less people are spending money the economy takes a hit.
In conclusion robots are both good and bad in many ways depending on the economy of the country. If the country is growing and has a low unemployment robots can make an impact that would devastate the poor and uneducated due to the fact that the hard labor jobs that uneducated rely on are the ones that can be replaced by machines. We've seen this before in the great automobile city of Detroit, the jobs were lost and the city has become a wreck of a city. In the matter of future robot jobs i feel they can be best used for mundane jobs and policing the world with giant mech warriors.
