What would Life Be Like In The Future

With such fast-paced technology and machine capabilities growing day by day, it’s hard to tell what the future holds for us. While there are plenty of theories out there the most common proposition has to be the Robot theory. 

This theory states that Robots integrated with AI will surround us in the years to come. They will overtake, supervise and perhaps even dominate as well as control human beings. While only being a theory, it is definitely intriguing how robots around the world are taking over the jobs that would be carried out traditionally by a human. 

A study conducted in 2019 by the group Observer concluded that by this decade 200,000 workers will be replaced by robots in the banking industry alone. 

While most machines have already taken over the manufacturing industry. Humans are still required to supervise it in case of a malfunction of any sort yet most presume that by the next couple of years a new line of machinery will be built that won’t demand supervision risking the absence of  human involvement in manufacturing completely. 

Fields like medicine where human error could potentially cost a life will be taken over by technology. Other fields like labour could also become a target for machines since capability isn’t restricted by human weaknesses such as water, food and the need for rest. 

Cashier work could also be affected by the development of robots. Some can also argue that the future might not even have physical stores seeing that they won’t be of use no more since all mediums of purchase and transactions would happen online.

Now that we have established professions automation could possibly dominate in. Let’s see professions that the robots cannot take over and why so. 

The first profession would obviously be anything to do with mental health and social work. Humans can understand other humans or at least have the capability to unlike our machine counterparts. Jobs like therapy would still require human beings in charge of the operation due to the machine’s lack of emotion. Although it could be said that with AI backing these robots they might just learn more about human emotion than any other human could. AI encourages the system to constantly learn and improve based on the learning. 

So mental health might also be a target for the robots but there is one profession that can certainly not be taken over by robots. Any guesses? 

It’s Entertainment specifically speaking Sports Entertainment. People don’t like to see a predictable or one sided showdown. People also like viewing a nice underdog story. What would you consider an interesting match, a extremely talented team that’s already got the upper hand from the get go or equal teams with relatively equal scores? Obviously the latter right. 

Robots are designed to achieve a particular goal that goal in this case being to win meaning that the process wouldn’t be as exciting to watch.

There you have it, now you have an idea of what the future might hold for us. Have any crazy theories of your very own, comment them down below because I would love to hear them.

A Look At History’s Greatest Fathers

Image
History’s August 31 2018 article titled History’s Finest Fathers state some of the remarkable parental related deeds of many reputed figures throughout history including Czar Nicholas II, Charlemagne, Mark Twain and even the father of modern science, Charles Darwin.  So in light of Father’s Day, let’s make an attempt to break down the qualities listed in their specific paragraphs, a few intriguing similarities arise to the surface and perhaps give us an idea of what the role of a good father actually entails. Sacrifice, Endless Duty and Responsibility are common terms thrown around during the conversation of father figures but what exactly are those sacrifices, duties and responsibilities. Can some acts be considered lower or larger compared to others? Are these norms beneficial to parenting or harmful? And perhaps most importantly, what attributes constitute a good father all in all? From the consortium of personalities in the article, we see that many of the men listed here had broke

Image
December 1993, The infamous Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar dies in a shootout with the Colombian Law Enforcement. But something of the notorious criminal remains to this day, something no one thought would be both a problem and a tourist spot for Colombia ...  Most of you know the drug lord Pablo Escobar because of the hit gritty - original Netflix series ‘Narcos’. But there is much more to him then just simply drugs. Pablo Escobar was one of the most successful drug kingpins in the world and with all of that drug money he wanted to make a private zoo. So he imported several animals from different countries like giraffes, exotic animals etc. Along with theses animals he brought in four hippos. Hippopotamuses weren’t native to South America, in fact they were imported from Africa, where they are naturally found.  When Pablo Escobar was killed, the government reclaimed Pablo's estate. Giving off the animals to different zoos and sanctuaries. All animals except the hippos

Tales of Crime and Justice : From Fence to Thief Taker General Jonathan Wilde

Image
Charles Hitchens several years ago, had paid £700 to become the Under Marshal of London, the highest rank of law enforcement in London at the time. Charles needed a protégé and so he approached the increasingly popular fence, Jonathan Wilde to work under him as an extortionist and errand boy.  Jonathan continued to work for him but started realizing some of the major flaws of Charles criminal system. For instance, Charles when writing threatening letters, used to sign under his own name. Jonathan began finding Charles methods pathetic and became more and more greedy, wanting the throne of the Under Marshal for himself. Turns out luck was on Jonathan’s side when Charles became involved in an anti-corruption scandal and city officials although not arresting Charles, demanded he take a break from the duties of Under Marshal. This is where Jonathan came in, he would be the acting Under Marshal, running Charles’s gang until he could make his marvelous return.  But as soon as Hitchen left, W
