The Rockhouse has raved about 'the robots are coming' and that theme has been frequent due to the number of research papers revealing yet more capabilities robots are gaining. With this example, the machine diagnostics get even more sophisticated and top the ability of human radiologists in terms of diagnostic accuracy. (Science Today: Computer program beats physicians at brain cancer diagnoses)
There was another Ithaka article in the last few days with "Mexicans Won't Take Your Jobs But Robots Will" and that theme is generally the same as this one. There's a false premise regarding robots insofar as they do simple and mundane things in terms of repetitive assembly line functions but that thinking is at least twenty-years old. The sophistication of robots and computer-driven diagnostic analysis in general has increased substantially.
When software does a more accurate job of interpreting radiological data then we have a remarkable situation in human evolution insofar as the robots evolve but we don't. Of course we do but we don't notice it whereas the evolution in robot technology has been dramatic.
The reason for flogging it with the multiple science papers on the robot evolution is because I don't see Millennials grokking it too much. Anticipation is opportunity is growth and yet there doesn't seem to be so much anticipation. Some make battle bots so their robots can war with each other in various contests and that's an amusing pastime, I'm sure, but it's not going to get you the 'house on the hill' whereas anticipation of the production flow of robotics (i.e. heavy engagement with medical diagnostics) has immense potential.
None of this makes much difference to Boomers as even the most computer savvy of that lot doesn't have much interest in robots and the ones who are computer naive typically go to Facebook or similar end-Boomer elephant graveyards. The robots are a whole different world and savvy Millennials would do well to ask themselves if they will follow the Boomers into social network hell or will they go off to be somebody in the new world which comes. It's not here yet but it's coming damn fast.
We have one case study and he's The Raven since I understand he's engaged in some type of medical diagnostic role as a technician. He is also recently-engaged so likely that means relatively soon he and his fiance will make many babies so awareness of the future is vital since he will go past the Immortal Impressionism of the Twenty-Somethings and welcome to the Long Haul, my son.
Note: he's not 'my son' but I would be proud if he were.
There's large concern here in the Rockhouse for the stability of medical diagnostic jobs over the Long Haul and that's why the specific attention. As suggested in the previous article about robots taking your job along with similar articles before that, it may be the answer for the Savvy Millennial to anticipate, well, my job is going to evaporate, maybe, but they need someone who understands the field so such a person can sell the robots.
Another likely growth point with robots is in terms of deploying them since that part is easy but keeping them in a high state of repair requires constant diligence. More than likely, wherever there are robots there will be humans to fix them. Carry that out to full sci fi if you like when robots will do all the fixing but that's for Millennials to manage as it evolves. For us to go out that far doesn't offer Millennials anything except vapor whereas the observations about active science are right now.
