Will places like McDonald’s always be the same? (CNN) -- Last week we asked for your thoughts on the future of work. This week we are publishing a selection of your s, which forecast a range of changes, from an explosion in telecommuting to nearly fully automated fast food joints. When talking about the workplace of the future one has to consider which job is being talked about. My example of a workplace that will undergo extreme changes from now until then is McDonald's. McDonald's will not need to employ 15 or 20 people. They will replace them with machines. Like on an assembly line for a car manufacturer, robots will mindlessly cook and then piece together every burger or chicken nugget. For now of course, there will always be need for a human face to be around for guests, and machines will always need maintenance. Ryan Shuhart, Orlando, Florida (2006)machines

Example about this topic: Jobs are changing. According to a group called Buzz 60, one company in Europe made a truck that can drive itself. That means you will see big rigs on the highway that are on auto-pilot. CNN Money said the computers are getting faster and cheaper. That will make it easier to build robots. There are some now even on the farm that can do simple jobs. A job that I like is working with computers. I like to set up my own web pages. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, a job like that can pay up to $62,500 a year and you only need an associate’s degree. That is two years of college. The outlook for that job is “faster than average” said the BLS. That means my chances are good at finding work. The outlook is not good for people who are unskilled. According to USA Today, millions of jobs will be lost in the next ten years. Technology is changing the whole idea of work in many ways. That means you need to learn a skill that is hard to replace. I want to do something that robots can not do. To get there I will need the best education that I can get. I plan to work hard on that today.
