Description

Technology is meant to help make things easier by eliminating steps or whole tasks altogether. In practice this leads to some problematic consequences. When people lose their jobs to robots which are able to do them faster and more precisely, it saves an employer time and money, but it also means that someone's skills and livelihood are obsolete. On the other hand, automation is a positive element to various groups. Can smart houses help the elderly to live comfortably? Will it make agriculture more efficient? This anthology interprets the benefits and drawbacks of automation from contrasting perspectives. Readers will expand their understanding of key ideas regarding automation and the future of how we work and live.
