Fan Cheng The robot assembles a PS4 in 30 seconds! The times abandoned you and never told you

The Japanese media Nikkei Asia review reported the manufacturing process of Sonys PS factory. The manufacturing process of the original Playstation Game Console has now been basically automated - yes, you are right. It is the general trend that the low-end manufacturing industry has been replaced by robots.
The Playstation manufacturing plant in mugenjin can assemble a Playstation 4 game console every 30 seconds, which is faster, more accurate and tireless than human employees. Robots will not make mistakes due to fatigue. They can maintain their efficiency stably.
Whats more terrible is that robots will not get sick, will not have emotions, and will never ask for leave. They can complete most of the work at a stable speed and at a lower cost. In fact, the use of robots to replace low-end manufacturing has already begun. Foxconn, a traditional OEM giant, is a pioneer in introducing robots.
In order to realize the transformation from "sweatshop" to "industrial Internet", Foxconn revealed the idea of replacing human work with robots as early as 2011. As a price, Foxconn has been involved in layoffs since 2018 - in November 2018, media reported that Foxconn had cut 340000 employees; At the beginning of 2019, there was another news on the Internet that Foxconn cut 50000 employees. In addition to the strategy of direct layoffs, Foxconn also made layoffs in disguised form by canceling welfare measures such as shuttle bus transfers.
As an alternative, Foxconns robot workers have been put into use in Zhengzhou factory, Chengdu tablet factory, Kunshan and Jiashan computer / peripheral factories. In May 2016, Foxconn reduced the number of Kunshan workers from 110000 to 50000, and robots replaced 60000 low-end manufacturing jobs.
In fact, not only robots, the advent of the information age has also led to the cancellation of a large number of jobs. Due to the launch of ETC system, a large number of toll collectors across the country began to lose their "iron rice bowl". A few years ago, a certain place in Zhejiang Province planned to recruit 147 high-speed toll collectors, but more than 1600 people signed up for the test, including half of the college students. However, the posts that once competed so fiercely were also said to be gone.
With the emergence of the electronic system of mobile banking and online banking, bank employees, a profession once envied by countless people, have also fallen into a wave of layoffs. In the first half of 2019, only Zheshang Bank and Shanghai Pudong Development Bank increased the number of employees, and the total number of staff reduction of 13 banks reached 42400.
This is just the beginning. In the foreseeable future, more occupations will be replaced gradually. In the face of this situation, we should plan ahead and make preparations in advance. First of all, we should avoid all repetitive and mechanical labor work, because this kind of work can be easily completed by a software and a set of programs. Secondly, we should embrace change, cultivate lifelong learning plans and improve vocational skills. Even if you cant make yourself irreplaceable, you should also make your replacement cost higher, so that you cant be replaced.
