Congressman whines about jobs that will soon be obsolete.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=T5GNB-gLgy4

Rather than complaining about the iPad, or saying that it's killing jobs,
why isn't Jackson encouraging more such innovation which creates new jobs? A
techonological rapture has occured and once again
it seems some of our luddite members of congress have been left behind.

Best Regards
Tom.

And the reality is, 80% of people will be left behind, and it is not
the politicians fault. Just a new reality of replacing people with
computers. I think that I will be in that other 20%, but I find it
frightening.

I don't understand why they are not funding education so people
can keep up with current job markets. Continuing education is the
key to being employed in our times. What is going to happen to
that 80% that are left behind?

Best Regards
Tom.

Well, they are "funding education", of course, but education is not
the full answer. If you take a dumb person and teach him or her to do
arithmetic, that still does not make them better than a computer, at
any given job.

So the problem you've identified is not that people aren't sufficiently
educated, but rather that most of the good jobs are for people who *are*
educated, and there are enough such jobs available to employ around 20% of
the population.

Is that it? (I'm not disagreeing, just trying to identify what you see as
the problem.)

Oh, sure, they're funding education. To the tune of $9,666 (federal
average) per student per year for twelve years, and then graduating
some who can't read, write, or think beyond third grade level; who
can't point out the USA on a world globe; who may never have even
heard the term "thinking". Ayieeeeeeeee!

That's just it, Tom. Those 80% aren't paying attention, aren't
seeking continuing education, and are refusing to learn new things.
For the most part, it's their own fault. And I agree that employers
who teach their employees new tricks will save money by lessening the
turnover. It makes for happier employees, too.

Way back when, my employer paid for my college education. It ment
going to school on saturdays and twice a week at night.

Do employers still pay for continuing education ?

Its been 35 years since i had to work for a living.

I guess they haven't figured out a way to extort enough money from Apple.

That (extortion) may very well be the next step, after the
complaining. You display great wisdom.
