| description | One of the major challenges, if not the crucial one, that politicians and governments will face in the next years is the relationship between technological progress and the social exclusion of those who are neglected by the system of social guarantees that the welfare State is still able to ensure. In this article, I analyse through a critical theory approach how technology becomes a purpose, the impact of technology on the job market and its consequences. I try to provoke some ethical reflection on uncontrolled technological progress and on the role of the man in the next years. The future of the labour market will be changed by a series of factors, some of the most important being shifting demographics, dynamic workforces, the rise of individual choice and especially the technological revolution. Of course, these arguments doesn’t mean that technological progress should stop or that I am against technological progress, especially because there are areas where innovations are lifesaving, or reducing casualties in the battlefield or reducing car incidents. The purpose of this research is to question what will be the role of man in the world. |
