I was reading a document late in the night and reached a point where I
wasn’t going beyond one paragraph. I suddenly wished someone would read
out the document for me and I just listen. Adobe reader came to memory
and I immediately converted the word document to PDF and turned on the
Read-Out-Loud function. Well it helped but not quite because of a few
limitations.
I got thinking of how machines are taking over human
roles so fast. According to internet sources, it is said that perhaps
75% of the jobs done by humans will be gone in 50 years. As they are
starting to do today, machines will manage the routine while humans take
on the unpredictable – tasks that require creativity, problem solving
and flexibility. No existing or future job without exception is safe
simply because computers as general purposes machines think smarter,
less error prone and continue to be programmed to be more creative than
humans in the long run.
