Sorry It's Rise of the Robots not Rise of the Machines.....damn you Terminator damn you.

As an electronical engineer, no. I wish I could recommend you any interesting book about Industry 4.0, but you should investigate about the topic. The world is about to see an incredible technological revolution in years to come, in the not so long future, kids will have to learn how to code since elementary school, the productive model will change a lot and we will eliminate gradually blue collar works. For example, there are huge investments right now in investigating machine learning, which will allow machines to make design and decisions by themselves, as of now, they just follow orders automatically, but in a few years, somebody will tell a computer the specs for a car chasis and the machine will come up with some crazy efficient design that we couldn't even dream off. As of now, we're just stratching the surface of industry 4.0, so we can't really imagine how we are gonna adapt to this, but we're gonna do it.

I assume you're watching Westworld Season 2? Really touching on great topics like AI sentience, what is real, data privacy, etc... great show, S2Episode 4 was amazing.

No you don't think this time will be different? If all these blue collar jobs are being eliminated. Where do people who only have a blue collar aptitude or people who like to work with their hands go and do for a living? Adapt or die?
Secondly I am very apprehensive about the idea of kids learning how to code since elementary school. Schools can't even get the No child left behind program to work the way it was designed. Now we are going to ask elementary schools to teach coding. The better funded school districts and people that can afford private tutoring for their children will be fine. But what about the rest?
Unless we change our education system to be more like Finland (for example) there are going to be a lot more people left behind.
But like I always say. What do I know I'm always open to learn more.
Thanks for the video and very nice music. It puts you in a great mood.

If you ask my personal opinion, I don't really know what is going to happen at all, I think that all the changes that are about to come are so complex that for me it's very difficult to imagine the outcome of this revolution. I mean, and I'm not trying to stablish a pro/anti Trump debate, but when we analyze the situation of USA here in Spain, I think that we can understand how he won, because he promised to take back the production to USA and all developed countries, we are "scared" of developing countries like China, but maybe this is a debate that comes 10 or 15 years later, because maybe, when another 15/20 years pass, every house will have a 3D printer machine, so we won't need big production centers, instead, we will be paying for the design. It may sound futuristic, but then again, it is incredible how much the world has changed in the last 50 years.
I'm not very familiar with american teaching programs, and I don't want to tell you that spanish education is top notch when compared to northern countries here in Europe, but, in a few years, we won't need carpenters, we will need someone who controls a robot with an interface and tells to the robot what to do. Kids won't have to be coding geniuses, but schools are slowly starting to get kids familiarized with programming. Of course there will always be a niche for handmade products, I'm talking more about big industry.
I mean, I'm also very very ignorant, I don't want to sound like I'm an expert, I'm studying a master now, and throughout the year I've been to a few conferences from executives of big companies, and all of them seem to be very interested in all these topics, and how to apply them to their companies. Another thing that has gotten my attention is that lots of friends from high school, who didn't even finished high school, they have taken courses to things related with electronics and they are very employable, all of them are working for nice companies, even though they are not engineers.
Sorry if there are any mistakes, I'm not used to write this much in english
