Blog #6: Solution

Slowly but surely, technological advances have become a huge part of our lives, so much that they have begun to take humans out from the manual labor workforce. While these improvements seem to be cost-beneficial to those who employ them, there are many people who are losing their jobs because of this. A possible solution for this would be to cut subsidies for companies who have more than half of their production produced by robots. If companies are put in a situation where they would lose government aid if they start basing their business strictly off machinery, they would most likely continue to hire humans to do some type of manual labor and continue providing their services. Another possible solution to this issue would be to offer those who are being laid off an opportunity to return to school wherever it is that they left off and eventually get a job that cannot be replaced by a robot. In addition, if a company still insists in utilizing automatons, they could hire humans to build and repair the machinery. There may or may not be a feasible solution to this issue, but one thing is for certain- robots need to be repaired and modified frequently, making them unreliable to a degree; but humans adapt and learn quickly.
