Technology is growing fast and making our lives better every year. But there’s something to worry about: the easier life gets with technology, the more likely it is that people could lose their jobs to machines (robots) soon.

Why do I think this?

Let me tell you what happened to me today. There was a power outage, so I couldn’t keep working on my tasks. I started scrolling through TikTok on my phone just to get myself engaged and saw a video showing drones delivering orders in China 🇨🇳. It made me stop and think, what about the people who depend on delivery jobs to make a living? If companies start using drones and AI to deliver things, those workers could lose their jobs to machines.

This made me wonder about the future of work. AI is changing many industries by taking over routine or heavy-data tasks, while people will need to focus more on creative and people-centered work. As AI keeps growing, learning new skills and working with these technologies will be important for many jobs.

Isn’t this something worth thinking about? What do you think? Share your thoughts in the comments!

Good note!

It is definitely worth thinking about. People should always push themselves to learn new skills and make new connections so their current skills don’t get outsourced or outdated. Physical labor is certainly on its way out but it will take many years to be fully replaced. I think people’s best hedge and position for the future is learning programming, coding, computer skills, etc.

I think the key here is human ingenuity. Technology doesn’t innovate on its own—it’s our creativity and problem-solving that push it forward. As Geoffrey West points out, growth is about sustaining through innovation, not just getting bigger.

While machines may take over certain tasks, it’s human adaptability that creates new opportunities, often in ways we can’t predict. Without our input, technology’s growth would likely stagnate. So, even as AI changes how we work, it highlights the importance of our capacity for innovation. It’s not just about keeping up with machines but driving technology forward.

This is another way to think about it🤔

I’m a software engineer and I don’t work much on AI projects in my day job but I’m starting to feel that I should learn as much as I can in my own time. Then I can feed my knowledge into our company and encourage involvement. There is a fear of being left behind and it’s very acute right now.
