     If technological advances start to really increase there will be several other jobs that will no longer need to be fulfilled by humans! Teacher positions, for example, will no longer be necessary. There are an abundance of online classes that are offered in high schools and colleges all over the United States already so essentially the students teach themselves with all the lessons and guidance online without any face-to-face interaction. Technology can easily take over these teaching positions. Other jobs that will no longer be in demand for human labor are many in the service industry. Machines could replace baristas, servers, and even chefs. Espresso can be a touch of a button away and food can be prepared all by technology without any human help what so ever. Restaurants will be filled with machines that take your order and robots that serve you the food. There are several problems that can and will arise from these technological advances that will be detrimental to our country’s economy. Many citizens around the U.S. will be laid off by their jobs and be replaced by machinery, therefore being forced into unemployment. The rise in unemployment will send out country into another depression because money will no longer be circulating like it once used to. This rise in unemployment will cause the government to support these families by providing food stamps and other assistance.
