We dive into a pretty thought-provoking moment where I found myself at a blood draw clinic, and it hit me hard how we've reached a point in society where technology and humanity are awkwardly intertwined. I was dealing with a human behind a glass and a tablet doing the same job, which made me wonder about the future of jobs like hers. The whole situation felt redundant, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that we might be overlooking something crucial about our humanity in this tech-driven world. I mean, how long before we all start realizing the implications of this redundancy? You got to think about what that means for people like her, right? Let's unpack this idea together.

Takeaways:

• In our current society, we're seeing how technology replaces human jobs, creating redundancy.
• I experienced a situation where both a human and a machine served the same purpose.
• It's concerning to think about how many jobs will be lost to automation in the near future.
• You should reflect on the implications of technology on employment and personal interactions.
• This episode highlights the awkwardness of our reliance on both humans and machines in service roles.
• I invite you to share your thoughts about this evolving dynamic on my website.

This is the Daily Note.

I'm James A.

Brown.

I went to get blood drawn, so I approached a counter with a young woman who sat behind a glass.

She stared at me, amused and pointed to a tablet on a pedestal a foot or two away.

I quickly answered the questions on that screen and sat down, only for her to call me back seconds later for one more thing.

My phone number.

And in that moment it was clear that we are in a different society.

One who's reached a point of awkward redundancy.

This woman in this tablet were doing the exact same job.

So I'm stuck bouncing between a human in a machine for no reason.

And all I could think of was how long before someone else realizes this?

And does this woman know her days are numbered?

So what do you think?

Let me know on jamesabrown.net on that note.

I'm James A.

Brown and as always, be well.
