Post 1 by andronica whitaker

With what's going on today 2020, we are already seeing how technology has taken over companies. 85 % of everything now is computer based with no human contact, and some companies have yes been around for many years. I can only imagine by 2035 things would be how they are today just maybe super advanced with robots doing deliveries, delivers might be flown in air carriers instead of amazon or ups. Orders and phone calls are being handled by technology. With what's going on today, I would say the technology that's being used isn't half way near sharp as it would be 15 years from now, but this is a good example. We now have to do 90% of everything online wither from a computer or a smart phone. I did further research and found "Technology" will wipe out most businesses by 2035. 

For example: 

"Manufacturing: Robotics and 3D printing have made it cheaper to manufacture in the United States and Europe than in China. Robots such as Baxter, from Rethink Robotics, and UR10, from Universal Robots, have arms, screens which show you their emotions and sensors that detect what is happening around them. The cost of operating these is less than the cost of human labour. We can now have robots working 24×7 and doing some of the work of humans. Over time, these robots will become ever more sophisticated and do most human jobs"

Humans wont be needed anymore , everything is going to be all about technology and data. Thinking about this makes you wonder if you should go into opening some sort of online business so you can secure your future, but I guess we just have to wait and see.
