Automation and the Jobs of Tomorrow

It's almost 2019, and the world isn't the same as it used to be. Vehicles contribute to the driving experience, devices monitor patients' health and send data to their caretakers and physicians in realtime, machines operate autonomously and warn owners when they're on the fritz, and robots play a big role in helping retailers get holiday packages to their customers on time. It's easy to see the benefits connected devices and IoT (Internet of Things) technologies offer society, but it's hard not to wonder what the technology takeover will mean for the job market in certain industries. Will the IoT create more jobs for human workers than automation takes away? According to a research study by Pew Research Center, more Americans are worried than enthusiastic about the idea that machines may one day take over many jobs currently done by humans.
