1. Tech & Employment Humans vs. Machines
By: Kaila Mayho,Javier Hernandez, Richard Thome

2. Introduction
Race Against The Machines
What will humans do now?

3. Race Against The Machines
Autonomous Economy
Partial Automation
Automation of a single routine task of an occupation
Complete Automation
Automation of many single routine task that encompasses an entire occupation, thus making an existing occupation obsolete

4. Partial Automation Post office Cashiers Phone operators
Talk about how technology has replaced jobs over time
Is technology taking over jobs or increasing the amount of jobs out there?
Post office
Mail being delivered mostly or paperless something someone may not have noticed
Farmers work
Cashier vs self checkout (grocery stores, libraries, etc)
printing/printers
Phone operators (harder to reach a person)
Bank tellers giving more functions to atms
Then it makes you wonder what would you trust more a human or a machine?
Computers are replacing the physical work

5. Complete Automaton Tv job examples
Laverne & Shirley ( )
Roseanne ( )
I Love Lucy ( )
Laverne & Shirley
Bottlecap workers
- Roseanne
- plastics
- i love lucy chocolate worker
Repetitive tasks vs. higher jobs
Javier will explain about the race against the machine
shows examples: Roseanne, I love Lucy, Laverne & Shirley (1976) bottlecappers
Affects the families talk about Roseanne

6. The Great Decoupling Brynjolfsson & McAfee Decoupling
A state where productivity no longer correlates with “x” amount of labor needed to produce “x” number of items or services

7. Arguments against Decoupling
Automation is not responsible but rather globalization
Trade Deals
Recessions
Offshoring
Automation actually increases Jobs
Partial Automation does not lead to job loss, only improves worker productivity
Complete Automation only results is occupation substitution

8. Wealth Inequality
David Autor states that the trend is part of the progress
Entrepreneurs will create new opportunities
Job growth will meet demand
Brynjolfsson & McAfee
The transition is the real danger
James Bessen
Companies require skilled workers

12. Lifeboat Analogy, do we “Let them eat cake”?
How can we handle the ever-increasing demand for educated technologists with ever-decreasing affordability of education?
Low Income for Majority & High Cost for Education -> Majority cannot afford education
B) Majority of jobs require education & Majority cannot afford education -> Majority of jobs cannot be obtained by majority of people

13. Basic Income: What to do when humans are unemployable?
When computers have eliminated enough jobs to create unemployment rates above 50%, how can we reconcile the model of our current free market economy with the majority of humans having no income?
No Income for Consumers -> No Purchasing Power -> No Products Purchased -> No Income for Producers
Universal Basic Income is seen as a necessity of many leaders in the technology sector
Mention education
