Exploring automation in today’s world

It’s widely thought that with Industry 4.0 paving the way for automation on a global scale, machines will be taking the jobs of workers everywhere. And while that is a fair assumption, TJR Global explains that it is a misguided one. In fact, the new and future technologies that are being developed, while they may take the place of workers, will also create jobs and opportunities for thousands of people.

The reality of it is that new technology will always emerge and disrupt current businesses. It is one of the things that pushes humanity forward. Had it not happened, there would be no cars, phones, computers, and people would still be working in farms and fishing spots. Cities would not be developed, to say the least.

While automation provides labor in work that may be repetitive and dangerous, the workers will have the opportunity to learn new skills. It is in this learning of new skills that people improve themselves and find ways to climb the ladder and boost their careers.

Another point that TJR Global explains is that today’s youth are the people who’ll be handling tomorrow’s world. Many of the jobs they’ll be taking on may not even exist today in the same manner as many of the jobs today didn’t exist 20 to 30 years ago. And through automation, many future jobs are expected to emerge, employing hundreds of thousands more.

TJR Global is a Fort Myers, Florida-based company supporting prime contractors, sub-prime contractors, and contract manufacturers in the fields of aerospace and defense, information technology, and telecommunications. More on the company here.
