Steemit ... I am just finding myself around this platform ... but your title hits home with me. My skillset is Cloud DevOps ... which means to some people in the IT industry the loss of jobs. It is my job to build cloud architecture and automate the deployment of applications. The funny thing is so many people in the IT industry is against it. They are scared that they will lose their jobs as automation ensures that we can just run a script that would take someone weeks to do. But my mindset it it opens up new jobs and new opportunities.
I agree totally with you AI is not far away ... With Blockchain, AI, Cloud Computing, 3D printing ... AI is already here ... In any event ... Great post ...
Fear is rational! No one wants to lose their jobs, but:
Fear is rational but it is also a waste of energy. If you are not investing in yourself and in your skills you should be just fined.
I was told years ago by my father nothing ever stays the same. Change is inevitable be it technology or be it jobs being offshored for cheaper labor.
The same fear that we think is rational is the same fear that sometimes hinders development.
Thanks for your post my friend ... :-)
But it is also that same fear that drives us to achieve even more...
