What will jobs and learning be like in the future?


Because of the Coronavirus pandemic, many people have changed the way of working. For example, people who worked in an office could work at home, but many others couldn't work for nearly three months because they couldn't work at home or they didn't like the idea. Teleworking has many advantages and disadvantages as everything.

For example, more and more businesses are adopting teleworking as their way of working. Teleworking allows you to stay at home and not to have timetables. It seems ideal, but it is much more difficult, nearly impossible, to concentrate. This happens because you can take your phone, play music or take a break at any time. Because of this, if someone works at home he won't be as productive as he is in his office.

But there are some jobs which can't adopt teleworking, like farmers. They had to work during the quarantine, but many people couldn't because their job wasn't considered essential. We could create robots that can do these jobs. There are already little robots doing some small tasks everywhere, for example, in the bank to pay Bills or in the supermarket to pay what you want to buy.

But not all jobs can adopt teleworking so easily and not all jobs can put robots instead of people. For example during the quarantine teachers gave the lessons and sent homework online, but it was more difficult to pay attention in the classes and to organise the time to do homework. Other jobs, like doctors, couldn't be done by robots because they need to bear in mind a lot of things, not only the symptoms.

I think that teleworking will be more popular in the future, and there will be lots of robots doing some jobs, but some jobs, like teachers and doctors won't change because they need to be done in person and by people, not robots.
