A lots been said about automation and the inclusion of
robotic engineering, which will make tasks in daily life and play, much easier,
allow us neanderthals to lift our heels, and sip those margaritas on the beach
side more often.
There is also one section of the society, which is very wary
of the fact, that jobs could be effected, and individuals who have been
essential operators of machinery and production processes, will be
redistributed and left with little or no jobs at all. While scary a prospect it
may seem to a larger part of the crowd, what's important to understand is that
- Automation is a subset of the implementation tactic of the human mind.
The technology for automation is to purely supplement
existing menial tasks, which eats in precious hours of productivity. The idea
is to also focus on tasks, where potential of early time output is higher,
which in turn provided better returns on time invested. (Time is money, so
people say!)
Automation is also better classified to perpetuate into what
outcomes can be more beneficial for organizations. While the IT and ITeS
industries, are fast moving to adoption, an important factor here is the
investment made by top organizations to invest in reskilling and upskilling the
workforce, to make the most of the opportunities at hand.
What can be believed, by pure analysis of the current
*automate wave* is that the survival of the fittest, with the smartest work
ethic will define the scale is technological developments of the future. Also,
more investments will be made to consult people on the intentions and deeds
behind putting money on automation.
As automation begins to seeping into the processes and
systems of new age IT-enabled companies, some facts of the matter are -
(1) The human element will see a little distancing away.
However, a complete elimination cannot be possible. In the end, the thrill of
interacting with a programmed machine v/s instinctive human is varied
experience in itself
(2) The rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) will provide
better robots or humanoids (like in the Sci-Fi movies), who will continue to
provide experience and challenge normal human behavioral instincts. It's up to
lot of us to look at this as an opportunity to up our game
(3) Fighting technology is fruitless. It will only push us
into oblivion, and murk our minds. Starting slow, and picking up the pace of
learning will hold us in good stead.
(4) Technology is a savior, a friend and an ease enabler.
Automation in its full force, will provide customer experience beyond our
wildest dreams, however we must be careful about over indulgence and over
dependence which can be cancerous to our lives. At times, cutting the cord
works well, for sane minds to think of the next best thing.
(5) Automation will not start a parallel revolution. It will
go on to add to the tech enabled lives we are becoming accustomed too. It will
sinfully, yet needfully put us all out from the rut we generally accumulate,
and bring us more closer to cauldron of technology, finance and cultural
understandings that are essential for its success. We play our part, through
our constructive feedback mechanism
Automation will assimilate our beliefs, and provide a
greenfield for all minds to unite, ideate and co-create the future we yearn
for.
