On January 29, financial times said Obama during his, IBM Watson (Watson) computer game beat human contestants in the competition program of the Jeopardy! drones United States weapons of choice, self-driving cars into reality, “apply” (app) was out of its intended meaning of the term. Rise of the robots are no longer science fiction scenes, now form the core of the Obama era economic dilemma. Popularization of robots will make United States labour force in a very large (and still growing) some people in trouble

Robot

United States economic automation of steadily increasing month by month. In January, United States economy added only 4,000 jobs in manufacturing, since zero net growth since July last year. But the Institute for supply management (Institute for Supply Management) said manufacturing activity rose last month reached the highest level since April last year. Causes of this difference may boil down to robot-which is causing an increasingly painful paradox: more robots, overall growth is stronger (because robots can increase productivity) but more worse situation of the middle class. The median income of Americans in the past 5 years rather than one year.

This situation could not continue, but for the moment, change is accelerating. Manufacturing employment size are shrinking around the world. China is accelerating from Germany and Japan manufacturers leading industrial robotics. Last year, Shenzhen to base camp, as Apple (Apple) and Nokia (Nokia) companies such as Foxconn building equipment (Foxconn) announced that it will purchase 1 million units within the next three years robots to replace workers engaged in repetitive manual operations. Meanwhile, a restaurant in the northern city of Harbin China last year became the first all restaurants served by robots. Last month, the world’s first 3D print Museum opened in China.

Enormous potential for automation. But in developed countries, the distribution of its benefits is unsustainable. The middle of 2009, United States job growth is concentrated in the areas of low-technology, food provision and home care. Premium service is the second largest area of employment growth. Middle income jobs is significantly reduced. National employment legal Engineering (National Employment Law Project) data displayed, economic recession during, 22% of unemployment set Yu low-income employment post (instant paid for 7.69 to 13.83 dollars of employment post); but in zhihou of economic recovery in the, low-income employment post occupy has new post of 58%, and medium income employment post (Shi paid in 13.84 to 21.18 dollars Zhijian) of situation just instead.

Technology of shock waves just affecting education and health–United States two most highly labour-intensive sectors of the economy, stagnant productivity problems. Online education began to spread, but met with resistance. First free online learning courses such as the marginal revolution in Economics University (Marginal Revolution University), co-founder of Tyler Cowen (Tyler Cowen), “said conservative forces in the University departments will eventually be going out. “He joked:” we need to continue at Harvard (Harvard) providing dating services, but private universities of the middle class does not know what kind of impact will be. ”

Even at a time of layoffs and other areas could still increase employment in the medical industry, also see savings potential of technology. Recently, the United States food and Drug Administration (Food and Drug Administration, FDA) approved the use of the first applied to the hospital for “human interactive autonomous robots,” RP-Vita. Forget to download diagnostic app, one day we will be “Watson” set out our symptoms. For many of us, this trend is a good thing. The innovative teachers teaching tasks can be outsourced to Internet, while focusing on each child’s specific problems. The best doctors will to freed from basic diagnostic tasks, specializing in difficult and complicated cases.

Popularization of robots will make United States labour force in a very large (and still growing) people in dire straits. In the wonderful introductory book with the machine running, (Race Against The Machine), ailike·bulinyueersong (Erik Brynjolfsson) and andelu·maikafei (Andrew McAfee) pointed out that in the fast-changing technologies contest with education, the former prevail. However, too few Americans of preparing. Cowen, who fear that many people will never fit in. Cowen believes that United States Federal Government guaranteed basic income should be provided to all Americans–the gloomy view accepted “permanent failure” exist.

Last December, United States air force is satisfied that Vera PT airbase launched a transport-Atlas-5 rocket, carrying a name named X-37B orbital test vehicle (X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle) of small spacecraft. Since it has been published in the past two months, the United States Government still had not released any information. Currently only know the spacecraft were still flying along the orbit over the Earth, and in carrying out secret tasks.

At the same time according to the anonymous source said United States Air Force has fired two X-37B orbital test vehicle, is currently only confirmed new X-37B still follow the first published 2010 X-37B orbits, which lasts for 225 days in orbit.

This X-37B Project Director for United States air force major General Eric Badger says: “the secret mission is an orderly implementation. “While Badger told Space.com says:” first before X-37B in comparison, test time depends entirely on the test object, the spacecraft performance, and operation of the equipment. ”

According to foreign media reports, United States “six oscillator” anti-piracy systems have a push and push, news now, including AT&T, Verizon, Comcast, Time Warner Cable, Cablevision, 5 main ISP providers will be officially opened on Monday, “six oscillator” System. It is learnt that the anti-piracy system “vibration” is staying at the educational level, want to moderate way to inform users of ongoing violations.

If ISP vendors also found violations continue, propitiate, warning they will enable a gradual mode. If a user receives a 5 propitiate also does not stop the infringing act, then the vendor will directly block the user’s Internet browsing. “Six oscillator” compared to the “three-strikes” does seem more human.

According to TorrentFreak reported that the Verizon plan identifies a violation when users decrease the speed of the users connect to the Internet; AT&T shielded from some popular Web sites; Time Warner, some are simply transfer a user browsing the page to load a page.

2012 the end of the previous year, “six oscillator” anti-piracy systems by Sandy hurricane made it necessary to postpone the implementation of the project.

Obama recently through Google social network Google+ of video group chat tool Hangout held has once Fireside Hangout (informal exchange) activities, answered has is public concern of many problem, involved of area including immigration, and technology, and firearms violence and so on, which technology area of problem main and venture spirit, and patent reform and high school computer education related, Hon who for United States electronic technology company Adafruit of female CEO Lee Mo, · Fried (Limor Fried).

1, on patent reform: just to “the mountain”, require more joint efforts

The first question is about patents–high-tech start-ups is the United States an important economic “engines”, but they often got prominence began by “patented hooligan (patent troll)” harassment, or even too expensive patent lawsuit costs down. Fried asked Mr Obama’s attitude towards the abuse of software patents, and whether he supports the patent set to 5 years.

Obama agrees fried, and spoke of him in 2011, signed by the United States invention Act (Leahy-Smith America Invents Act) – the Act on United States patent system was substantially modified, to promote United States development of innovative enterprises and stimulate the recovery of the employment market.

But the Obama administration also believe that patent reform just to “the mountain” and needs more stakeholders to work together to reach a consensus and create a better patent legislation.

Obama noted that science and technology are developing at rapid speed, and the Government should advance with the times–United States Government is very concerned about issues of privacy, civil liberties and openness of the Internet, while he himself had also been thinking about how to better address during the term of copyright, patent and copyright piracy issues.

2, concerning high school computer education: support students ‘ learning program, practice

Fried put to Obama, the second question is: as the promotion of foreign language education requires high school students to learn computer programming across the United States as feasible?

Endorsed Obama, said he would also work with United States high schools across the country work together to ensure that computer programming education close to students, for students, even to those who might not go to college students also have practical significance.

While some opponents of vocational education “drives people to carry out specific work”, but the Obama administration to Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg (Mark Zuckerberg) as an example to refute – when he had dinner with Mr Obama telling the President, when he taught himself programming, because he was very interested in games.

The Obama administration believes that many high school students in contact with and knowledge of mathematics, science, graphic design, game programming skills in areas such as after a keen interest, and hands-on practice than classroom “tedious explanation” to stimulate their enthusiasm, and helps them find their own specialties and choosing a future career.

Finally, Mr Obama said he wanted to help students “making things yourself, and not just to enjoy”.

Draper pointed out that Republicans want to win young voters, you have to make the party more open and free, and in particular in the case of population migration in the age of.
