Jobs his last time in the White House's entrepreneurs Banquet, deeply troubled by unemployment, Obama has whispered Bangzhu: "Let those manufacturing jobs may move back?" Jobs irrelevant answers, said: "Those who work has gone "(Those

jobs are gone!)

Jobs then perhaps can be interpreted as follows: These jobs are walking in disappearing, and eventually China and the United States can not be. As the New York Times, 14 month and 18 days Contact post "cheap robot VS cheap labor" and "smart robot reshape the global industry", Wen pointed out that China's rising labor costs and labor instead of new technologies (such as The head-on collision between the increasingly smart intelligent but continue to lower the cost of the robot) is already underway. In the examples cited by the New York Times, the Netherlands, Philips 128 robots in an automated factory local fully able to replace a sister plant of the same scale of China's coastal areas hundreds of workers and robots in many ways beyond skilled workers.

Robot evolution and reduce the cost of economists and technical experts stirred up a new round of large-scale discussion: human jobs will be how quickly disappear?

MIT economist Andrew McAfee and Erik Brynjolfsson new book machine racing "wrote:" The robot massive fast to grasp the situation of human skills only appeared in recent years, which will have far-reaching economic impact as robots rise of one of the landmark event, Apple's overseas factories - Foxconn Chairman Terry Gou has publicly expressed support for robotics, robot army of a million and plans to deploy in the future.

But robots can only replace the scene standardized, highly stylized work, such as welding, assembly, packaging, picking, completely replace skilled blue-collar workers just conceived.

Senior of roboticists and industrial products designer Bran

Ferren said: "I naively believed that there will be an all-purpose robot but I discovered that in fact simply can not do without a lot of work, because the human determines thinking, for example, how the radiator gently card to the right bracket position on how to weld plumbing? these things robots is difficult to accomplish. "(As curious No. no substitute astronaut as plumbers also do not have to worry about the robot will run out of the factory to grab their jobs)

The New York Times that a new generation of robots for manufacturing to return to the United States and Europe to provide a window of opportunity, but this is not the whole problem. Revolutionary technology - artificial intelligence and 3D printing technology can not be ignored because the other two, is changing the manufacturing sector itself.

Famous scholar Vivek

Wadhwa: artificial intelligence technology will allow the manufacturing itself becomes personalized. "We will be able to aid of artificial intelligence designed, in the design of the products they need at home." Wadhaw said: "We are entering the era of the creative economy, large-scale production of the personalized production, it can be downloaded from the web design personality alteration of, or simply complete the design. "(Editor's note: Do you still think that consumers design their own assembled beyond millet phone really so difficult?)

3D printing technology will be closer to the consumer and the distance of the production processes in the creative economy era, sometimes, the production even in the consumer's home (such as printing a new CPU like live). Of course, the factory also will benefit from the large-scale application of 3D printing (forget mold word).

In fact, smart robots, artificial intelligence and 3D printing technology, is nothing but the liberation of humanity from the repetitive, non-creative activities, the elimination of a number of jobs at the same time will create more high value-added creative jobs. China can hold a "world factory" status, the key is not to keep up with the robot manufacturing technology in Europe and the United States, but in the creative economy, the trend to complete the upgrade of the industrial structure and labor structure of knowledge (from bondage to the entertainer).
