Machine

You may consider my explanation yesterday weird.

But not at all. Many hospitals actually have now that touch-screen gadget next to the Information Desk. My real worry is, with time, this type of technology would largely reduce the need of receptionist (not only in hospitals but also many other facilities).

Alas, it means another type of job being taken up by machines - from the hand of human beings.

In other words, we lose yet another competition to the machine in the market of employment.

For sure we would lose. How could Homo sapiens be compared to machines and computers in doing repetitive tasks ? (In fact, with the development of artificial intelligence, we may not be better in terms of making simple decisions.)

That's the real Pandora box.
