In using the comparison to the industrial revolution, where production methods switched from hand methods to machines, Kelly speculates that the workforce as we know it will undertake dramatic transformation. Machines will take all tasks that can be specified in terms of efficiency and productivity.<\/header>\n<header><\/header>\n<header><\/header>\n<header><\/header>\n<header>\u00a0 \u00a0This is great news! I get bored from those things so quickly. Let me take a moment and be thankful that my natural talents lie within the subset of \u201cinefficient tasks\u201d \u2013 experimentation, creativity, innovations, failing, art. The good news is, I will surely be employable after the next revolution and I am happy to pass the efficient-related tasks to the robots. This raises the question: <strong>What will our\u00a0new creative capabilities be when we\u00a0pass off all efficient, productive tasks and only focus on the inefficient ones we\u00a0love?<\/strong><\/header>\n<header><\/header>\n<header><\/header>\n<header>\u00a0 \u00a0Of course, I am concerned by Kelly\u2019s conjecture that we will be paid in the future for how well we work WITH these bots.
