Huawei has plans for IOT
I like how Huawei has designed wireless performance models for IOT because things are becoming more wireless going into the future

Re: Huawei has plans for IOT
Why is the notion of the most important component, "people" not as critical? Am I reading the transformation wrong? I wonder.

Mpouraryan,
As I read it one of the major drives behind IoT is job destruction, particularly the sort of standby job that required people to monitor things in case anything went wrong. So of course the focus moves away from the people, who will be pushed out of the workplace, and to the machines that will take over their functions.

Re: Huawei has plans for IOT
What you noted was underscored by this column that got published in Project Syndicate last week, featured on China Daily--AND not given much credence in the US Media--it is frankly a tough read--As I know, I continue to lament how the "human factor" continues ot be discounted: https://www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/trump-economy-hurts-workers-by-joseph-e--stiglitz-2016-12

@mpouraryan I think this is a natural progression that we have seen for ages. People may be being pushed out of one sector as technology advances, but there is always need for human work somewhere else. People aren't as necessary to the process of building cars any more, but there are more jobs in creating applications and sensors for smarter cars.

@afwriter This progression is great to see. The evolution of human work paired with machines is facinating. Sensor technology is rapidly advancing thanks to all the folks working on it.

I share your optimism--however, we have to see whether the thinking at the political level will help to sustain this as a new era arrives in Washington.

Re: Huawei has plans for IOT
Since it is typically the repetitive tasks that will be taken over by machines, I don't think that people will miss working those types jobs so long as there are value-based ones available to take their place.

Re: Huawei has plans for IOT
I am of the view as well that "boring" tasks have to be eventually give way to a more meaningful life--no doubt (and yes that includes frankly Driving!!!). The question is how? In the obsession we have to automate, we're missing the human element--and any who is at the forefront of transformation needs to think that thru.

Re: Huawei has plans for IOT
@vnewman I hope the future includes more value-based jobs as machines take over repetitive tasks. It would be great to see more meaninful lower-level work. I'm not sure that's what we'll see, but it's nice to think about the possibility.
