Analysis Of Vonnegut's Picture Of The Third Industrial Revolution

Technology is taken for granted in this day and age. But we still expect to be more proficient than today's computers. This is changing, however, computers are becoming smart than us. They are able to outperform the tasks that we do on a daily basis. If this is the case, then what will the future look like for people? No more jobs, only the smartest and richest people work, and the rest of the people get a basic income and may or may not work at all. This could be the future. We’re amongst the third industrial revolution and its not long till the present is the future. Technology will shape our future to the point that many people may not need to work, and a form of basic income may need to be introduced.
The third industrial revolution is not in the future, but it is right now. Vonnegut's picture of the third revolution doesn’t show the present, it shows the end stages of what the third industrial revolution might look like. The third industrial revolution is when all manufacturing goes digital. Such as smart AI and computers that can compute problems in the businesses and fix those issues efficiently. While I don’t think that we will have to record someone's movements, I do believe that machines will advance to the point of companies being run with only a few workers on the job site. There is a theory called Moore’s Law,
What they have been doing is simulating production jobs with new types of virtual machines. What they are trying to prove here is that computers, with this software, could run a whole factory of production jobs in one simple computer system (DIRAC-based infrastructure). Computers are already used to take production jobs, but with this new architecture, they are able to do it more efficiently, and use less computer resources. With these advancements companies are one step closer to being able to afford to replace humans with
