Automation is no longer just a problem for those working in manufacturing. Physical labor was replaced by robots; mental labor is going to be replaced by AI and software.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

-Andrew Yang<\/b><\/span><\/p>

\"Age<\/a>W<\/b>ork gives us a sense of self-worth. For hundreds of years, surnames of people were carved out of their profession. If we take a glance back towards England, Smith was used for blacksmiths, Miller was used for grain mill operators, and Weaver was used for clothes makers. Children inherited the tradition and carried forward the family tradition.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Now, we no longer take our surnames from our work but what remains essential to our identity is the work that we do. It is this very identity that\u2019s been put into danger with the rise of Automation. People are not just afraid of losing jobs and wages, but also their sense of purpose. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

According to the World Economic Forum\u2019s 2020 <\/b><\/span>Future of Jobs<\/b><\/a> Report:<\/b><\/span><\/p>

\u00a0\u2022\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/strong>85 million people will be replaced by machines or algorithms by 2025<\/span><\/span><\/p>

\u2022\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/strong>By 2025, humans and machines will do the same amount of work<\/span><\/span><\/p>

\u2022 \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/strong>83% of businesses plan to accelerate their pace of automation<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>

Companies are starting to move a great share of work from humans to machines:<\/b><\/span><\/h5>

1. Unpredictability is the key\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/h3>

There is a cluster of jobs in which machines would easily replace humans. However, one factor where machines struggle and humans surpass them is the involvement of unpredictability.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The jobs that present a lot of unpredictable elements, unfamiliar conditions, and complex and ambiguous data\u2013humans will always remain a step of the robots or the machines. Therefore, the best way to survive the age of<\/span> automation for children<\/span><\/a> is to get familiar with unpredictability.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

2.<\/span> Prepare your children for the real world<\/span><\/b><\/h3>

With the advancement of technology and the rise of the virtual world, the innate ability to deal with real-world problems is becoming rare.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Apart from learning technical skills, if you want your children to be future-ready and boost their chances of employment, you have to make sure that they spend a lot of time away from their gadgets and find themselves in unfamiliar, messy, and real-world circumstances of life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

There is a great need to experience the physical and real world around us and eliminate the digital filter. As<\/span> Artificial Intelligence<\/span><\/a> makes its way into our experiences of the physical world, it determines how we learn and interact. What this does is reduce our skill level to deal with things that provide no data for AI to use.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Virtual experiences come with constraints and limits. After a point, people have to go out into the physical world and have real, in-person connections. This natural ability isn\u2019t something that AI is going to beat us at. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

We live in a technology-dominant era. Kids are very familiar with technology and automation as they\u2019re always surrounded by smartphones, computers, tablets, etc. Kids exposed to technology in their early years will have a better go at working with it in the coming future.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Parents and responsible caretakers need to help kids identify their interests in STEM and cultivate them. This is the way to <\/span>create leaders and entrepreneurs of tomorrow<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>
