Blog Entry #6

There are several ways for the country to combat the problem of machines taking over jobs of humans. One is to simply not let it happen. This is probably one of the easier and faster ways to fight this situation which seems to be getting closer every time one turns on the news or reads a newspaper. Though this might put some people out of a job and then the hurt the economy, which is something I think that everyone would want to avoid. Another way is to allow these machines to run basic jobs but instead of letting the machines fix themselves or having other machines do it, we could allow those who might have lost their jobs to fix them. This would then put an end to my Terminator theory presented in my previous blog post. With this solution it would further cut back the number of people who would become unemployed if we had machines just take over. A third possibility would be to have them work side by side complimenting each other instead of one replacing the other. This I feel would yield the best outcome. For starters it would help do those task or procedures which a human might botch and cause further harm than good. But it would not take out the human intuition which has proven science or a robot wrong in the past. For example if there was a mechanic and the robot or machined scanned the car and found nothing to be wrong the mechanic could then take a look and based on his/her experience might find something that could pose a as possible danger. Those are just a few ways that the country could fix this potential problem.
