Robots May Soon Take Over Our Jobs,See If Ur Prospective Job is on the Line by MissTechy(f): 11:53am On Jun 03, 2015
Hello Everyone - Name is tobi ayeni aka MissTechy and this post was gotten from MissTechy dot com

What if we wake up to discover that someone has invented a Robot that can help companies save cost and get the best at the same time? What happens when technology advances so far ahead that Machines can perform all human labor? We can already see the signs with the rise of automated cars and Robots chefs.

To answer these questions, NPR created a helpful tool that examines the chances of you losing your job to a Robot. The data used was gotten from an automation prospects from an Oxford University study called “The Future of Employment: How Susceptible Are Jobs to Computerisation?” It took into consideration these questions:

Do you need to come up with clever solutions in your organization?
Are you required to personally help others?
Does your job require you to squeeze into small spaces?
Does your job require negotiation?
It used these questions and other algorithms to finalize on its assessment. I took the liberty of picking 16 popular jobs in the country,

Are we’re going to experience the greatest unemployment crisis in human history? probably not anytime soon, but don’t be caught unawares when it eventually happens.

1. ACCOUNTANTS AND AUDITORS
I’ve been a firm believer that someday Robots would replace accountants – According to the quiz, Accountants and auditors have a 93.5% of being replaced by Robots.

2. MECHANICAL ENGINEERS
I don’t know why this job has a low chance of being replaced by a Robot but Mechanical Engineers you are in luck, you won’t be replaced soon.

3. ACTORS
Nollywood, Hollywood, and Bollywood fans, start getting ready to see robots act your favorite movies hehe.

COMPUTER PROGRAMMERS
Hey don’t you think this should be lower? I think so too, but the researchers believe that computer programmers have 48.1% chance of being replaced by Robots – who creates the Robots to begin with

4. MUSICIANS
Now this one I don’t quite agree, who wants to listen to a Robot sing but the quiz is of the opinion that musicians have a 7.4% chance of being replaced by a robot , In my opinion, this should be 1%

5. CLEANERS:
Now this one I quite agree with, though I would have preferred a higher rate as I am of the opinion that with the rate things are going, we would no longer need cleaners in our homes

11. ECONOMIST
Do you want to know why I was quite angry with this result? Economics is a really tough course – how do I know?, I took an Economics course in my final year and it was terrible sad .. To think that the chances of an Economist being replaced by a robot is 42.9% is tragic.. very tragic.

We all know that it would take a while before this can be possible in Nigeria, but I'd want to make an appeal to everyone to try and equip themselves with whatever tech skills they can latch onto - seeing that the world is already moving into the technology phase

I am sorry to say this....

Thats a big lie of the year!....hahahaaaa

See, how do you believe it?...

A robot can never be better than its creator. In other ways, are you better than God who created you?

A robot can help but can't replace.

A robot can is interlligent up to the level of programs inside it, while a human can learn, expand in knowledge all by himself.

Do you know that your laptop is also a robot? Yeah it is....

And do you know of the phrase "garbage in garbage out"?

Pew! A robot will continue doing the wrong thing if the wrong programs is inputed or if it gets a touch of digital malaria, but a human will reason, tweak and make some changes when things aren't going the way it ought and used to go.

Without a human supervisor a robot can not work effectively i say unto you!

Hahhahaa an there is one other thing i fear o....

Guy u fit build a robot and program am, and one day em go get a touch of digital kolomental, now you come waka come as oga at the top, and come shout....Wilfred! Take that hammer up and keep it in its place. The thing go take am up, turn round, look u for eyes then come knack you akpako for head..... Shm...serve you right....you wan create robot.....mathematical wizard style abi?

Thats is the problem, you are not thinking outside the box. What if we program a robot to learn. All the problems associted with programming lives and he robot actually understands what he is doing. Believe it or not scientists are working on that right now and they have made alot of progress.
