Amazon Dash and Echo shows IoT services and a lot of jobs will be replaced by IoT/robotics

IoT (Internet of Thing) is not the technology but the services. I see that Amazon is one of good examples with its Dash and Echo. Amazon announced to support Uber with Echo to make you order Uber ride. (ref. GeekWire)

The old economy is the segment which we can see to improve and grow more with IoT but we should also be aware that the old system will be also replaced with this IoT.

This is a kind of robotics which a lot of jobs will be replaced by machines/software. The young generation should seriously consider what you want to do and what you can do when you choose a job. However, you should also feel free to change a job with this kind of trend and movement.


IoTは技術でなくサービスです。アマゾンのDashやEchoがいい例でしょう。EchoでUberを呼ぶサービスも始まりました。

IoTでオールドエコノミーと言われる分野が大きく改善され成長すると思います。但し、旧態依然の制度は置き換わるというか変革しないと生き残れません。

この傾向はロボティクスが多くの仕事をとって変わる一例を示しています。若い世代は、自分が何をしたいか、何ができるか、仕事を選ぶときに真剣に将来を見据えて考えるべきでしょう。一方、転職をもろともせずにこうした傾向に対応していくことも大切です。
