Apparently, our fear that robots will take our jobs is holding us all back. Intriguing read.

I certainley think that automation will come in to many industries and is already there in so many. People will still be more important though. Have you tried networking with a robot!!!!!

  People ARE more important so the personal touch is definitely the way to go Graeme! However, I think I might have met one or two robots at networking events in the past :)

    I love that, Nicky! :)) It might explain very well some strange behaviours I've noticed in some networking events in the past, as well. :)

      It was a tongue in cheek comment Mariana so I hope no one is offended ;)

Thanks for sharing this post Nicky, that type of topic is my cup of tea. I speak to a lot of businesses exploring new innovative methods to grow/keep ahead of the market and AI comes up a lot!

My thoughts though ‘robots’ will still need people :)

  I totally agree that we will still need people Gillian!
  
  There will be elements of our jobs that robots will be able to do possibly better than a human, but I think this will free us up to do the more interesting elements that we enjoy doing and that will also develop our skills.

Not me , Andrew! I love what I do, too much! :))

  You are obviously playing to your strengths Mariana so your work doesn't feel like work? I love to hear that someone loves their job....me too!

    Exactly Nicky! I'm happy you love your job, too. It just makes life more beautiful this way, don't you agree?! :)

I sometimes wish a robot would do my job!
