English 102 Blog #5


Other jobs that may no longer need people to perform could be the school system (as in faculty and staff).  In the future I feel even students will not have to physically attend school but there may be a device we use to learn.  Like a headset or a computer program.  Eventually we may not even need to go to school at all.  If robots are going to be doing our jobs for us we will not have anything to do.  A negative point to that would be how much time we would now have on our hands.  We would not have to go to work every day so we would eventually just do nothing at all.  Of course we would go out to dinner and maybe even go out dancing but eventually there will not be any room for all the people that would have free time.   I feel like we would become more irresponsible and lazier if this were to happen.  Maybe at first we might see this as a great thing.  We will not have to stress about work, dread getting up in the morning or even complain about that annoying coworker in the cubicle next to us, but in time we may become antsy and bored leading to total chaos.  Maybe we will get rid of our money system all together and have a different form of currency for when we need something.  This reminds me of the Pixar movie Wall-E.  Their homes was completely destroyed with all the litter and mess created over the years so they were forced to move away from Earth.  If we do not slow down our technological advances, we will eventually be in the same boat as the people in Wall-E.  But, we will not know this for sure until, and if, it happens.
