In the next few years, automation can “eat” 30% of all jobs — to such conclusion, the company McKinsey.
A few dozen years ago to buy, for example, the footwear needed to get to a Shoe store where he worked in shifts of at least two sellers. To the store the shoes were, as a rule, from the factory. And to get it required at least one driver and one merchandiser. The services of this store was mostly enjoyed only by those who live nearby. The situation radically changed with new technology. Now, to buy shoes, you only need to access the Internet. The online store can make use of people virtually anywhere on Earth. And needed sales assistant no more.
Millennials (born after 1983) are almost two times more than buying online, in comparison with the previous generation. Every year online sales increase. Perhaps the next generation won’t go to the shops and completely switched to buying online. Technology is changing your habits, lifestyle, economy.
Another example is supermarkets. On the self-service checkout at the same time can pay for their purchases, for example, 10 buyers. They “punch” the product and pay for it with a credit card. And a self-service checkout for 10 people only need one consultant who will monitor and advise. The cashiers are familiar to us in the future can generally remain without work.
