Topic	Controversial Opinion #4: Automation
LinkPizza 04/03/21 10:17:09 AM #20:	blu posted... Thats not automation. Youre checking your self out. You are taking the cashiers job yourself. The automation here is the register and conveyor belt. Youre also taking the baggers job yourself, but those went out of style a while ago. Idk. I hear people consider that automation... So, that's what I consider it... And automated stores are apparently coming. Amazon's been working on them. And that's what the internet articles were calling those stores. I mean, you can say it's not automated if you want. But people are apparently calling them that... But they are trying to get the store to work with no humans inside after enough time... blu posted... Youre generally against humans being replaced by technology? That's probably my main concern. It's at the core, but that is more to it... That said, there are technologies I don't trust... blu posted... It has constantly happened through history. All of these are relatively recent changes: People used to hire people to wake them up before alarm clocks. Milk used to be delivered to your door because people didnt all have refrigerators. People used to stand in elevators to tell them what floor to go to. People used to manually place every bowling pin and send the ball back. People not that long ago would have to manually clean streets. Every word on a printed document used to have to put on there by a professional. Someone would manually switch from one movie reel to another when you went to the theater. Just because it's happened al through history doesn't mean it's good or ok. Murder as also happened all throughout history, as well... I know that's an exaggeration, but it basically means that just because something has always happened doesn't mean it should continue to happen... And when all those things became automated, or had something make their job obsolete, they lost their job, which means they lost their income... Which is the problem... blu posted... What changes in technology are okay? The ones that stop taking all the jobs away... Many people need those jobs... --- Official King of Kings Switch FC: 7216-4417-4511 Add Me because I'll probably add you.
