Uber is an example of automation and robotization: taxi company phone operator is replaced by mobile app.
Ticket machine at the train station is an another example of automation and robotization.
Online courses instead of teachers, classes and books is also an example.
Computerized air traffic control is also it.
Trains using rails more efficiently because computers instead of signals for humans is also it.
Bike and scooter rental in many cities with mobile app instead of taxis and bike renting human services is it.
Software (instead of a manager) which decides how many apples, bananas and peaches this particular grocery store needs today is automation and robotization.
And so on.
Automation and robotization doesn’t necessarily mean human-like robots doing housekeeping.
- PunchTornado 7y agothose are small examples with a few thousands job loses. they're already here and you can't see an impact in unemployment because of them. + I'm sure they actually created some jobs in IT. I'm talking about massive job loses because of automatization. Nothing like that happened or is on the horizont.
