I plan to use this article in inquiry to protect more evidence that robots are taking over American jobs. This article confirms some of the things mentioned previously in the other articles and is just another source that can verify most of the information that I have collected from other sources. It also talks about some more things that robots can do, which I might include somewhere else on the paper along with some of the other examples I collected.

One of the more popular arguments for an optimistic future in wake of technological advancements in the workplace is that in new jobs will be created for humans as the robots take over our old ones. However, this article is relevant to my inquiry because it states that researchers have found that there has been very little employment increase in other occupations to account for the jobs that are being lost to technology.

This is relevant to my inquiry because my inquiry asks how technology affecting our nations industries and this article states that in the manufacturing field, automation is so bad that for every robot per thousand workers; as many as six people end up out of a job. The article states later on that it appears to be the first study that quantifies large, direct, and negative effects of robots.

The main purpose of this article was to address evidence that robots are winning the race for American jobs, similar to what the title of the article states. It talks about evidence from papers published by reputable authors that suggest that human jobs especially in the field of manufacturing are being significantly taken away by robots. The article also talks about industrial robots being used in the manufacturing of electronics, metal products, plastics and chemicals. The article says that robots have the ability to operate without human interference and do jobs such as weld, paint, and package.

I plan to use this source to provide more statistics and more support for the bleak outlook of low to medium income jobs. I could also use this source as a introduction to the concern of technological growth to some higher income jobs. Although I probably won't use the majority of the information on this article, I might also discuss some of the historical trends of technological unemployment and compare it to what's happening now.

Although this article is very broad and includes a lot of information, the main purpose of this article is to describe the history of technological unemployment and bring awareness to the reader to all the different kinds of technology unemployment that occurred and is occurring, it includes a lot of information about our current state and includes lots of surveys and statistics on the overall outlook of jobs in American then, now, and in the future. It also interesting includes some solutions to some of the issues towards the end of the article.

This would be relevant to my inquiry because the quote is coming from a former U.S. treasury secretary and Harvard economics professor. With those kinds of titles you would think that they would have a lot of knowledge on what they are talking about it’s also worth pointing out that he changed his option recently, that he did not always feel this way about technology. It's another kind of alarming quote that may strike another nerve with the reader.

This quote would be relevant to my inquiry because it shows that advancing technology won't just replace middle or low income laborers but also high skill, high income medical doctors. According to the article it is coming from co-founder of Sun Microsystems (the creators of the Java platform) Vinod Khosla which would be a fairly reliable source.

This quote is relevant to my inquiry because it provides support on how both low and medium skilled workers will soon be out of a job due to advancements in technology. Since there are many citizens in the United States who only have low and medium skillsets, this will become a major issue because they will soon be scrambling to get a job, that or a college education which might be hard to get for Americans who are on a fixed income.

This would be a relevant quote to include in my paper because it shows that right now robots at least according to this article are primarily being used for jobs that are on the lower end of the pay scale, eliminating the opportunity for Americans being able to get a job without a lot of skill. It shows the technology will be used in the future to replace the jobs of people who haven't had a vast background and education in whatever they need them for.

This would be a relevant quote to include in my inquiry paper because it provides a good statistic of the outlook of jobs in the United States in the future. It also goes to say that we are in more of risk then other countries like Britain, Germany, and Japan, something that might evoke a sense of alarm to the reader.

This quote is relevant to my inquiry because it talks about how technology doesn't just stay stagnant instead, it will continue to evolve replacing more jobs as it learns new tricks. This quote also talks about some of the ways technology is tackling jobs that have a lower percentage of automation, services that make teachers have to do less work.

As kind of a follow up to the last quote, this quote is relevant for my inquiry because it discusses how even though it seems like the tools technology is giving won't reduce the need for teacher, the combined effect that all the tools bring will result in employers not needing as many teachers because with them spending less time doing their one job, employers will not have to have as many teachers employed. For example, instead of a teacher just teaching one subject, an employer might make them teach two.

This quote is relevant to my inquiry because it discusses a general outlook of some of the jobs that technology can take over in the education field alone today. The jobs listed in this quote will be the first jobs that will start to see automation as all of them have high automation percentages right now. All it will take for these jobs to become automated is a cost-cutting employer since the technology based on percentages for automating these jobs has already been created.

The author's purpose of this article is to discuss how technology or automation is being introduced into the field of education. It talks about some of the jobs that automation can take over and some of the jobs it can't take over and also suggests that this is just the information that we have at this time and that jobs can continue to become more automated over time.

Since my inquiry question is “How will technology continue to evolve in our nations industries?" I would use this article to support some of the ways technology is evolving in the specific field of education. I would show some of the jobs that can replace and some of the tools that technology offers educators in ways that can help them decrease the amount of staff that they need in order to teach.

When I am looking for a quote on statistics of the outlook of jobs it might be useful to include this quote as it comes from a reliable source and it is relevant to my research question on how technology is evolving in our industries. This quote shows that it is evolving very rapidly and that in only two decades 47% of the jobs in the United States could be under automation.

This is a very relevant quote for my essay because it shows many different examples on how technology is evolving and taking over industries which is exactly what my research question is. It shows a very broad and diverse number of ways in which technology is evolving which makes it the perfect quote to include.

I will use this source to provide more examples on how technology is evolving and finding itself in different types of industries, this source doesn't just give transportation and medical examples, it also talks about burger flipping machines and robots that can create parts on its own with no additional input from other machines or a human being. It again provides support for just how deep technology is going into the industry and just how far reaching it has become. Unlike the first article the entrepreneur who is being interviewed here has a pessimistic view of technology being included and he feels that moderation won't even matter as no new jobs can really be created since information technology is a totally different field than agricultural technology, the field in which people were able to find new jobs from.

The purpose of this article is to inform readers about some of the alarming ways that robots are landing in the workplace. The overall messages is that given time, if we allow it, robots and technology will soon overhaul our economy leaving 47% of the United States under automation, a future that is leaving 47% of workers out of a job.

After talking about what was previously stated in the article about truck driving being the only real stable job left to a lot of middle class citizens, this would be a good quote to bring up in the essay. This is relevant because it shows that technology can really take over anything, given time it can replace any job that it pleases. The fact that three major companies are already trying to figure out a computerized way to replace this job shows just how much our world has changed and just how much technology is taking over in just a very short amount of time. It shows just how determined some companies are to mark humans as obsolete.

This quote is relevant for my inquiry essay because it gives a good brief summary of some of the jobs that were once available, but have since been taken over by some kind of new technology.

My inquiry question is “How will technology continue to evolve in our nations industries?” This article has a lot of examples in jobs that technology is starting to become a part of and it also shows just how fast it is taking over. I will use this source, specifically the part about truck drivers, to provide support on some of the specific jobs where technology growth can really be seen, and how it evolving itself to play a role in many different industries.

The authors purpose of the passage is to introduce the reader to some of the new ways that technology is making its way into the workforce and some of the ways in which it is taking over some of the jobs that were once available in the industry. The overall message that he argues is that a machine takeover might not necessarily be a bad thing. He says that in some ways machines can do a better job then humans and even says that in some cases machines can outperform. He says that letting machines take over somewhat might make things better for society and increase well-being, he suggests that it be done in moderation, however.

The CRAAP method is a set of requirements or things to consider to see if the information you are researching is good, trustworthy, and reliable. The CRAPP method would be a good tool to use when deciding on what information I should and shouldn't include on my iSearch essay.

Propaganda and opinions are not useful tools for scholarly essays as they are bias and are tools to try persuade the reader to take a side on something. They might be useful for persuasive essays, but not for the iSearch essay.

If you find spelling, grammar, or typographical errors it could indicate that the person isn't very scholarly and that you most likely shouldn't trust the source.

"relating to the style, appearance, or production of printed matter."

"based on or relating to a system of ideas and ideals, especially concerning economic or political theory and policy."

"of, in, or like an institution or institutions."

If you read a article about how good something is for society and you notice that it is published by a organization that makes it, it wouldn't be a reliable source.

If the reader can not read your information then there is no point in writting the essay as they won't learn anything from it. If the reader feels belittled by reading your essay they probably won't apply the information.

This is a important question to answer because something is extremely out of date it is no longer relevent.
