Future of Work Robotics

You live in a remarkable time of technological innovation. Technological change has NEVER BEFORE IN HISTORY been as rapid as it is now. Technology has changed enormously in the past TEN YEARS. However, in the NEXT TEN YEARS (when you are in your 20’s), the change will be much greater. This type of change is called “Exponential Change (or Growth)”. In other words, the pace of change is hard to imagine!

FUTURE OF WORK - ROBOTICS

Robotics, automation, and artificial intelligence (AI) are becoming increasingly powerful. They are examples of ‘Disruptive Technologies’ that are now and will continue to radically change work, industry, and our lives.

For this assignment you will be creating a short presentation based on research into one career/job area that is affected by Robotics. This may be a job or career that might disappear, change, or be created by the robotics revolution.

Ideally, take this opportunity to research and reflect on a particular area that you are personally interested in as a possible career.

Robotics and the Future of Work Presentation:

  • Google Slides (Title Slide + 4-8 Slides + References)
  • Identify a Job/Career being affected by (or created by) Robots.
  • Describe the future of this Career/Job. How will it change?
  • Example(s) of Robots related to this.
  • Make your presentation interesting!
  • Not TOO much text per slide.
  • Include images/videos on each slide.
  • Make sure to include references at the end of your document for any sources.
