Where does the 4th industrial revolution lead us on a human level and as a society?

More and more doubts assail us and we ask ourselves as human beings, how and when will it impact us, how will the 4th industrial revolution influence us on human work? What will the workers of the future be like?

 

It is a harsh reality that the 4th industrial revolution is already among us, overwhelms us, invades us, floods us and that very soon it will impact us socially and totally transform our lives, personally, socially and laborly, to all the levels.

Today we would not conceive the world without the presence and help of all the technological advances of humanity. Think only 10 years ago, without the inter-connectivity of our smartphones and how it has transformed us as a society; That will not be anything, compared to what the 4th industrial revolution will bring us

If you are a young person and professional, leave thinking how and what you will do, to face this present reality of the near future and if you are a senior worker of the 70 ‘, I begin to adapt to change to not stay out of the labor market in the next decade

Man has been able to transform the natural resources at his disposal to manufacture tools and machines that facilitate their lives, as well as satisfy their curiosity and desire to excel.

It is obvious that technological advances allow humanity to make great progress as a species. But there are challenges, dangers, challenges that we must take into account, the price to pay and reflect if we can avoid negative, pernicious collateral effects and adapt without losing our essence as human beings. The most significant advances of humanity can put at risk our values ​​of what we expect and desire from our future society.

The 4th industrial revolution has already begun. Every day we are more connected between us, but it is happening that the devices are also acquiring this capacity.

Our devices are more and more capable of doing things for us. Robotics, AI or Artificial Intelligence, etc., are no longer something of the future; They are starting to become something of everyday life.

These changes also bring an uncertain future for the workforce. Soon there will be human works that will disappear because they are unnecessary and before we will have to live with a new intelligent species in our working world: “Los Cobots”. (Collaborative robots)

The technological revolution is propitiating the birth of a new type of workers of the future: They are the new knowledge workers.

How will the 4th industrial revolution change us as human beings?

In the very near future, less than 10 years, the work environment will change drastically and it will be a challenge for society to be able to find, for the millions of people, that in a very short time they will need to change jobs.

This mass of workers must be transformed and adapted into professionals, who can satisfy the new jobs. We must learn to live with robots, robots, collaboration with them in the work environment in less than 10 years. Any worker must raise their work potential and require the use of information, creativity, autonomy and the use of various methods and techniques to solve problems.

How will it affect us in our daily lives at work?

The impact will be brutal, and still the experts do not see the degree of transformation of the society of the future due to this great technological Sunami. The potential of all these new technologies is much greater than we can imagine.

The big industries have already started with adaptation, digitization, sensorization and robotization. of its processes. Now is the time for SMEs, but still in Spain they do not dare and they think that there is still a long way to go and it is for a distant future that they do not understand. You can not wait more as an SME.

What is clear is that the change of technologies is real, and it is here to stay. The question now is whether we will be able to do it in such a way that we help to live in societies in which the human being is not dehumanized and have a better planet without losing our human essence as a species.

Reflections and final considerations as a society and as a species

A characteristic of accelerated technological change and, in particular, in the field of information and communication technologies translates into better and greater opportunities in the various fields of knowledge.

the 4th industrial revolution is already a present reality, it is not an entelechy of the future. The technological revolution that we are suffering is propitiating the birth of a new type of future workers called knowledge workers. We will have to get used to working with robots and establishing new relationships with them.

The workers of the future will be the workers knowledge and have become a highly demanded profile that each of us must migrate and adapt to not be “out of the game” in the labor market. The large industries have already started with the adaptation and digitalization of their processes, now It is the turn of SMEs to do the same so that they do not fall behind in the race towards the future that is already here. Analyze the last decade, without our smartphones and how it has transformed us as a species;

That will not be anything, compared to what the 4th industrial revolution will bring us. Adapt your strategic plan, do not stay offside, prepare your organization now, do not wait. and adapt to the new reality that is already here among us and has come to stay.

Where does the 4th industrial revolution lead us on a human level and as a society?
