Does The Next Industrial Revolution Spell The End Of Manufacturing?


Does the next industrial revolution spell the end of manufacturing?
Robots have been taking our jobs since the 1960s. (0) A It comes down to the question of what a robot really is. (1) I For example, in the 20th century, traditional robots didn’t look human but were automated machines or robotic arms building cars in factories. Commercial 21st century robots include supermarket self-checkouts, automated guided warehouse vehicles, and even burger-flipping machines in fast-food restaurants.
Ultimately, humans haven’t become completely redundant because these robots may be very efficient, but they’re also kind of dumb. They currently do not think; they just act, in highly accurate but very mechanical ways.

This change will be so significant that it will create a new industrial revolution.
