Technological innovations
have immensely revolutionized the world we live in today. Since the industrial
revolution, the development of this country has depended on the use of factory
machinery and robotic inventions. Both factors that have caused a reduction of
human labor jobs. In the future, scientists believe that robots will rule the
human society. Slowly our dependency will increase in technological innovations.
The industrial revolution
made everything easier for mankind. People were able to get from one place to
the next faster, write faster, finish and sell goods faster. A pioneer during
this era was Henry Ford. Ford’s mass production of the Ford T model prompted a
fast and cheap production that revolutionized several industries (New York
Daily News, 2013). There are more robotic machines that have taken over this
industry (Murray, 2012). Therefore, making car manufacturing better, faster,
and cheaper. This is an example of the effects of robotic inventions that have
affected the labor force today.
It is no surprise that the
labor force is changing around the world. In recent years we hear about people
losing their jobs due to the economy. Now an average of 1.2 million industrial
robots went into the work force leaving 1 in 5 thousand people out of jobs
(Aquino, 2012).
Aquino explains a reason for this new workforce. Humans get bored and tired of doing their jobs, therefore, making robots an effective alternative.
This is true because, robots do not need a lunch break or vacation time. Robots
can perfectly accomplish a task, while humans make room for error. This is why
human labor is slowly being taken over by robots.

Scientists and inventors
believe robots are slowly taking over our world (Brooks, 2012). Most of the
stuff that we use or do includes robotics. Today we use so much technology in
our daily lives that we have forgotten about how not to depend on it. Robots
can do anything from financial analysis to medical diagnostics (Barajas, 2014).
These are common jobs that will force humans to compete with robots in the work
force.
To think that a robot can be
programmed to be essentially a human could cause a series of sociological
problems. For this reason, it is amazing and scary to think about how humans will
need to adapt to futuristic robotic innovations.
