The jobs that follow the “faster, higher, stronger” principle will be taken over by machines while the jobs that involve dealing with ambiguity, human emotions and dealing with changing rules will be leftto humans
I was waiting in line to board the aircraft along with the fellow passengers. But I suddenly realized that all other passengers were gazing at someone. It was the pilot of the aircraft who was walking towards the plane — and a woman pilot. It seemed she was used to the look s of passengers who had suddenly stopped speaking among themselves, as if under a spell. They looked at her with a mix of apprehension, curiosity and awe as she stepped into the cockpit. And suddenly the spell was broken. I heard many people talking about whether women pilots were better? Opinions were divided. Some claimed women pilots were likely to be more skilled. Several others were skeptical about women flying aircrafts. But no matter what you say or feel, I thought to myself, flying is foremost associated with magnificence, no matter who is flying, a man or a woman. And it’s about technology and it doesn’t matter who is more skilled at operating it. Who knows if Robots will start flying planes in the future?
Humans have always wanted to do more. It is no surprise that the Olympic motto is also Citius Altius, Fortius — faster, higher and stronger is the driving motive behind human progress and innovation. We first tried animal power to augment our capacity. Then we tried to move to steam and electricity to replace animals. And now we are looking at high tech to replace everything else. This time we have robots powered by deeper capacity to learn that is replacing humans.
