Throughout the years, consumers have depended on Amazon to buy their necessities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2019, Amazon had close to <\/span>800,000<\/span><\/a><\/span> workers. However, by having so many workers at its warehouses, they began getting more complaints of workers being mistreated and injured.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To cut down on the amount of workers getting repetitive-motion injuries due to lifting heavy packages, Amazon started investing in <\/span>robots<\/span><\/span><\/a> to fulfill the task of carrying cargo from one station to the other.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, many people view these warehouse robots as a threat to their jobs. Even though they will most likely produce a positive outcome by generating more jobs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Robots\"
CAMILA RAMIREZ \/ THE REPORTER<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The implementation of technological advancements like Gutenburg\u2019s printing press, cars and computers have shown throughout history to increase job opportunities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, <\/span>computers<\/span><\/span><\/a> have been widely used and provided many jobs and fields, such as IT technicians and computer repairmen. It is incredulous to believe laborers once feared it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Machines are here to help us and more humans will be needed to work on-site with these technological advancements.<\/span><\/p>\n

New Scientist<\/span><\/span><\/a> says that having robots in the work field will affect the economy by increasing spending, reducing cost and at the same generating a \u201cnet gain of 200,000 jobs.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

BBC News<\/span><\/i> said something similar when they wrote about how the<\/span> World Economic Forum<\/span><\/i><\/a><\/span> predicts that although jobs may be displaced by introducing automates, around 133 million new jobs will be produced.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Many of these new jobs will improve productivity by being <\/span>based on human characteristics<\/span><\/a><\/span> and requiring additional sets of skills that survive modern demands. Advanced robots can\u2019t perform human actions like discerning, <\/span>negotiating<\/span><\/span><\/a> or generating ideas.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Eventually, our way of living is going to change. How will society learn and develop if we fear new opportunities?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Instead of fearing what the future holds with these types of advanced creations, we should view it as a sign that humans and robots<\/span><\/a> can work together to build a better future.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
