In the recent sci-fi movie, “Edge of
Tomorrow,” soldiers wear robotic suits that give them enhanced
strength and mobility, not to mention integrated weaponry. South
Korean shipyard workers are already using “exo-suits” that allow
them increased strength, though these suits are still in their very
early stages. Imagine what we could do with this technology if
developed further! Risks to workers could be reduced with the use of
exo-suits, new athletic events could emerge, and of course the
military will find ways for exo-suits to enhance our soldiers .
Instead of handing over all of our jobs to robots in the future, we
can utilize exo-suit technology to perform some of the same tasks,
but with human operators making human decisions. Exo-suits could
potentially save countless jobs, plus, producing the exo-suits
themselves would create even more jobs. A lot of doomsayers are
predicting that robots will take over 1/3 of our jobs in the future,
but perhaps we can cut that number down significantly with exo-suits?
