When President Obama made the announcement in June 2011 met with a high degree of skepticism , if not ... From certain angles , derision . As it turns out , Obama was not only partially correct , but the concept of technological unemployment has been around for some time. It was first proposed by John Maynard Keynes (1883-1946) in his "Essays in Persuasion ." Keynesian economics , but probably remains one of the pillars of the progressive thinking today. Citing his work in 1931 :
" At the same time , technical improvements in the production and transport grew at a faster pace in the last 10 years than ever before in history ... We are affected by a new disease of which some readers have not yet heard the name, but you hear a lot in the coming years , namely , technological unemployment . This means unemployment due to our discovery of ways to save labor utilization exceeding the speed at which we can find new uses for work . "
Until recently it was thought that technological unemployment to be a misallocation of working time and eventually return to more normal levels . However, many authorities speak of chronic unemployment, Keynes unpredictable and unknown in recent times .
How bad is it ?
According to Tyler Cowen , an economist at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University , nearly 41 per cent or 82 million people are unemployed in the United States . This figure rises to 260 million when applied to developing nations , people with little chance of upward mobility.
The numbers and the obstinacy of the lack of current work goes against conventional Keynesian theory. If you are probably wondering Keynes meet his essay :
"But this is only a temporary phase of maladjustment. All this means long-term mankind is solving its economic problem ... It would be foolish to consider the possibility of a larger [Technology ] progress again. "
A paradigm shift is needed
Keynes said that the global economy is driven by scarcity. Revenues are distributed work. In future Keynes, the adoption of robotics and advanced technology result in a paradigm shift to a world of " abundance and leisure . " New forms of food production on the basis of genetic engineering ensure the abundant. crops The production of bio - energy and robotics manufacturing materials and provide most of the necessary work . As Keynes said:
"Governance , culture and society subject to disruptive change . No shortage there would be no reason to go to war. The world's population would have little things to do to get their guaranteed income , " figuratively ... " Go fishing . "
Keynes warned , however , the need to prepare for the next new " age of leisure " so that we do not suffer an empty existence empty sense of fullness and lack of self-realization is so expensive sought by our being .

The irony of ATMs who have jobs certainly not lost on the millions of unemployed due to lack of employment do not have an ATM . Meanwhile technology works on an ever faster pace.
One of the new wonders to take the hand is the " additive manufacturing " or commonly known as 3D printing . Below the result of Chuck for the first quarter of 1984 , expanding the company to produce industrial parts and do- It- Yourself enthusiasts .
