RE: ✴️ WELCOME ALL NEW STEEMIANS AND MINNOWS! LETS ALL CONNECT AND GET TO KNOW YOU!
That 4th industrial revolution is gonna be a hard one, probably going to take generations as we slowly move people out of manufacturing. Can't just fire everyone and build robotic factories :\ Where do you live now? Seems like you've been some cool places.
You make a really valid point, That's something we have to take into account as the first generation adapting to it.
But I like to think that those jobs lost to manufacturing will be made up in creative endeavours and online jobs, that's what I love about this community and the digital age, anyone's got an equally valid voice.
Hopefully, but the economy is also going to have to figure out how to pay fair wages to people within the creative industry, especially as the freelance/gig economy continues to boom. Too many businesses use freelance as a way to avoid benefits, thus putting the cost onto the freelancers, but without raising the pay to make it possible. We're on the brink of some amazing things, but currently it's amazing for only a few of the many. But, keep our heads up, hopes high, and our jaws set to fight to make sure it's all good in the end :)
