Some of us may be unfamiliar with driverless car, drone, and virtual reality, but two of these inventions are already on the market except driverless car. The driverless cars are testing on the road, and the experts estimate that they will be on the market in two to three years. Ten years ago, our primary devices accessed the web are desktop computers and laptops. In 2018, many of us use our smart phones or tablets, connecting to Wi-Fi for free in many locations, to access the internet.

First, to support his argument, he emphasizes the negative experience that many readers cannot focus on critical thinking when they read online because they scan and jump quickly from an article to other articles. He proves this common problem by providing several anecdotes of Scott Karp, Bruce Friedman, and his friends, who are facing the same issue of reading (Carr 315-316).

He demonstrates that technology will not threaten humans’ lives in terms of jobs by providing the fact that only a small amount of the jobs were replaced since first industrial revolution. To help readers erase prejudice about robots are alike humans, he uses “Bartex” (Kelly 301), a novel robot from “Rethink Robotics” (301), as an example to draw comparisons between robots and humans. For instance, Bartex can notice humans around it, it can be taught to work by anyone, and it has a low cost. Finally, he predicts the four situations of how robots will replace current and future jobs. Many current jobs will be replaced by robots because they work precisely than human workers, and they easily complete the tasks that humans are difficult or unable to finish. Regarding to future jobs, automation will create many jobs that we cannot think of. Overall, Kelly is optimistic to the changes of jobs that brought from
