Is Automation Bad?

How long do you think it will take before machines do your job better than do?

Automation used to mean big machines doing repetitive work in factories. Today they can land an aircraft, diagnose cancer and trade stocks.

We are in a new Information age unlike anything that’s been before. According to a 2013 study, almost half of all the jobs in the US could potentially be automated in the next 2 decades.

But wait; hasn’t automation been here for long?

What’s different this time..?
