No meeting this I need some input for you readers. I’m changing the font size from 10 to 12 to make the month. Enjoy a vacation! newsletter a bit more readable, particularly for those of us whose eyesight is not as keen as in past years. I tend to view PDFs at 125% or 150% so the smaller size is not a problem. I’m leaving the first three pages at 10 until I figure how to rearrange the pages into a 12 font. Maybe I never. Anyway, what do you think of the change in font size? Email me at [email protected].

Automation And Increasing There are thousands of jobs and hundreds of thousands of tasks Unemployment which have the potential for being automated. Thus, it’s necessary to have some sort of conceptual model with which to view these By Mark Bazrod jobs and tasks to make the situation understandable. The best I have seen has four categories: routine versus non-routine and manual versus cognitive. Automation (sometimes referred to as computerization or robotics) is clearly increasing. Is significant and permanent structural Using this model, we can see some broad trends: unemployment a result? Economists have long said no, but more of them are now raising questions.. Kurt Vonnegut’s 1952 novel, Automation is no longer confined to routine manufacturing Player Piano, envisioned a society of just two classes, the larger of (manual) tasks. which was consigned to menial jobs. Automation of non-routine manual tasks is increasing. Automation of routine cognitive tasks is increasing. Automation of non-routine cognitive tasks is coming. Another approach poses an even more fundamental question. Is the situation one of the threat of automation or is it the opportunity for augmentation? Thus, do we ask “What tasks currently performed by humans will soon be done more cheaply and rapidly by machines?” or “What might people achieve if they had better thinking machines to assist them?” You can say that automation starts with a baseline of what people do in a given job and subtracts from that while augmentation starts with what humans do today and figures out how that work can be improved rather than diminished by a greater use of machines.
