This generation is the generation of technology. Society is so fixated in technology that everyone including toddlers know how to control it. Lately there 's been interest in new and improved technology including robots. Robots are seen places where they 're needed. As humans we are not capable of particular things, such as lifting a hundred pound box or sewing a tiny vessel in surgery. Hard things we are not capable of are reinsured with robots. Robots are use everywhere for any purpose. Technology has made history, in which will continue to expand and advance in the long run. Now there 's talk about using self-driving cars, which can replace Uber or Lyft, and robots in grocery stores. Some food places have computers, such as tablets taking …show more content…

If jobs are taken by robots, what is left for us? Mark Simon writes, “Who Will Pay For The Future If Not The Robots?” which discusses the outcome of robots taking over the workforce.

People wouldn 't have to take forty hours of their week at work anymore, so what how would individuals use their free time? Or would there be less hours given? Maybe it 's time that education should reinforce STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math), in which it can prevent this talk about technology taking control. People who specialize in the STEM field would be significant during that time. When malfunctions happen people in the STEM field would be essential for the time being. Toby Walsh in his article, “More STEM Education Won 't Protect Our Jobs From Robots” talks mostly about the cycle of “employee replacements”. The idea of a robot taking a job only results in creating a new job for humans. Walsh identifies arguments on the importance of STEM. One of the arguments Walsh pulls out, “First, it leads to some of the safest jobs. Second, STEM is likely to help grow the economy.”, but Walsh believes that this is more humanities related. People who study in humanities can help towards the future, by their complexity and their constructive ideas given in that time. Walsh also argues that not everyone is capable or interested in the STEM field. But what would humanitarians bring? Are they meant for robots or would their jobs be
