Will machines eventually take on every job?

Automation will continue to transform the global workforce, but taking an active role in that process will help us reduce the damages and increase the gains.

Scientists Build Super-Maglev Train that could hit 1,800 mph A team lead by Dr Deng Zigang at Southwest Jiaotong University in China have built a maglev train with the potential to reach 1,800 mph (2,900 km/h). Scientists at Southwest Jiaotong University in China have reportedly built a maglev train that could reach 1,800 mph (2,900 km/h). According to The Daily Mail, a vacuum is used to minimize air resistance. Project lead Dr Deng Zigang claims it could be used for military or space launch systems. Maglev trains use electromagnetism to lift the train off a track and to provide propulsion. By removing the need for contact with a surface via wheels, friction is substantially reduced and speed can be increased. They are also smoother to ride than surface-supported alternatives and are less affected by the weather. The current fastest passenger-carrying maglev train can travel at up to 268 mph (431 km/h) and once reached 311 mph (501 km/h) in pre-launch tests. The Shang...

Health wearables have their share of disadvantages as well https://www.facebook.com/sourceoffuturist/ Dr Sunil Mittal, a Delhi-based senior consultant psychiatrist, recently saw a young professional in his 30s. He was psychically healthy, but had grave concern about his rising heart rate.He obsessively checked numbers on his health tracker and felt restless if the number of steps taken didn't get him the desired digits on the gadget. He was diagnosed with obsessive compulsive disorder, with his thoughts preoccupied with health anxiety. Recently, a colleague gave up his fitness band after it started showing that his sleep quality was abysmal - every day. "I began getting a bit worried because I used to feel fairly well-rested in the morning, but my tracker told me otherwise," he says.  WHEN DAYS ARE NUMBERED We humans love stats. In a world where news is being broken down to numbers, your wristband is now your own personal health infographic. While these de...
