Re: Robots
@freehe  Yes, who comes up with these terms like "Robotics Renaissance," and political terms like "Dreamers," etc ... I wonder the same thing. The idea of robots roaming around wirelessly scares the bejesus out of me though.

Sneek Peak of Huawei's 5G Vision
Huawei, with all of its partnerships throughout the world, seems to be at the forefront of 5G technology. I'm sure we will be hearing a lot from this company at the MWC in Barcelona.

Re: Huawei 5G Vision
@vnewman  I feel somewhat troubled by this "factory of the future." Soon it won't be just about factories but about every job humans have ever done, even tasks performed by professionals, such as surgery, teaching, etc ... AI scares me quite frankly. No wonder everyone is in such a hurry to get 5G off the ground.

Re: Huawei 5G Vision
@srfolo1 - scary indeed. Think of the possible tag lines going something like this: “Imagine a different kind of workforce. A workforce that you can teach countless skills. The more it learns, the more efficient it becomes. It works without ever taking a vacation. It can be small one day or large when your business hits a spike. And it frees up your best people to really be your very best people. Meet the Software Robots – the Digital Workforce.“ Now here’s the truly scary part: this is for real! A real ad. Real software. Real robots. It’s all happening quietly beneath our noses.

Re: Robots and 5G
Looking on the bright side - think about all the implications of using this technology in dangerous environments: factories where they are using dangerous chemicals in productions, nuclear plants, etc. Send in the clowns? No send in the robots!

Re: Huawei 5G Vision
@vnewman This is just creeping up on us, slowly and we are basically unaware of what's really happening. It's all about lies. We are not being "freed up" to do better jobs. We are being phased out. What is our future really? Will we even have a culture anymore?

Re: Huawei 5G Vision
@srufolo1 - I tend to think more along the lines of a future like the movie Surrogates. Where we all sit in our homes and get fat and lazy and send them out into the world for us to do jobs that we wouldn't want to do outside of in a video game.

Re: 5G and Robotics
@afwriter - It truly makes me wonder what kinds of jobs my kids will be able to get as teenagers. A lot of parents plan their children's futures on them being able to get a job once they reach a certain age. I started working when I was 14. If McDonald's is running all automated, what jobs will teenagers of the future hold?

Re: 5G
@freehe - I really think our society as a whole not only needs to be looking at and talking about these issues, but making voices heard. The economy can't survive with almost no one working. I get that the rich can get really really rich using robots and not paying out for labor, but what will those of use who aren't on the right end of that game do for a living? I still say Japan has the right idea here, by not allowing technology to replace a person in a job. Otherwise, we're on the fast road to serfdom and we'll be there a whole lot faster than most anyone wants to admit.

Re: Huawei 5G Vision
All great questions to which there are no easy answers I believe beyond the fact that jobs that require an extreme amount of versatility and adaptation to a wide variety and quickly-changing circumstances will be the ones left to humans. For example - preschool teacher s one that comes to mind.
