WorkPlace 2050

The work place has change from what it used to be early in the years. Woman wore to stay home, their work was to take care of the house, husband, and kids if any. As the years has past gradually women felt more confident and powerful to work out side their homes. Now this days many woman are leaders and to be in control. Kimmel said the generation workplace, that the increasing representation of women in high ranking position is the most dramatic shift in the sex composition of an occupation since clerical work because a female has dominates the field in the late 19th century. By some of the cartoons under glass ceiling showed how men have an ego of feeling they know everything. However if a woman tries to take control, the man gets upset and they tried to push the opponent down. In many of the cartoon you can see how the woman is trying to do her job but the men are all showing upset emotions or they are bored falling sleep, and so far. However in sure if a man was in the same position the man are the other men would be paying attention and work together. Man have this ego that they feel they have to always be better then woman. However many women got tier of been push back that now society could see how many young woman are more focus on reaching to the top of their career. Many of them have not stay home long enough to learn how to take care of a house. By the year 2050 the American workplace is going to become great dependently on technology. Now these days many of us don’t need to go to the mall to by clothes because we could by it online in our favor stores. Another example many woman and man don’t need to know how to broom now there is this little machine call “Rumba” that all you need to do is press the on button and this machine drive around the house by itself and at the same time is swipe the entire floor. I see the further moving always from many skills that had put many of the older generation in to jobs such as carpenters, mechanics, painter, etc. Technology will become such an important aspect of our future workforce that many women will benefit from it. Most women have focus so much in getting an education then men. Education has and will continue play a big role in the technology world that we are becoming. Women will pursuit to achieve better position in the workplace and all well be done from the education they have learned from. Just like that article which talks about boys falling back in education and having a hard time to lean then girl. The American workforce has projected mayor change in the work place. They predicted that woman’s labor force will experience a higher increase that men over the next decades. Also the amount of Hispanics will increase making overall labor force. Another prediction is anything involve with educational field will also bee the fastest growing jobs.

I agree there are many jobs that we will no longer have in the future. We think of the tradesmen. There are also the older jobs we forget about. They are calling them the lost generation, the men and women who simply aren't around to staff the world's booming mining industry. (Mineweb). We hear more and more of the mines collapsing on our workers. People are leaving this old profession. We also have to remember it is outsourcing that is and in the future will continue to take over our jobs. Where are the new technology jobs going? Looks like a lot of them are going overseas where the industries have fled. As we see less and less, leather tradesman, furniture makers, and farmers we will also see less customer service operators, technicians and computer operators in our country. Many jobs are not lost, just leaving. (Opinion of Pamela Peters 2007) Work Cited: Mining paying the price of lost generation. 2007. Mineweb Holdings Limited.

In 50 years if you can't make a work meeting, no big deal, they will technologically scan a 3D image of yourself into the meeting. You will be able to interact with the other members like you were actually there.

Need information fast? A new device the size of a pen is coming out that is filled with a "scroll" with digital ink. Everytime you unroll it you get different text and images. This is imporant for employers to keep their employees up to date, even if they are not by a computer (Future For All).

Because of things like this, many people will lose their jobs. But, because of things like this as well, many people will be able to work from home, spending more time with their family. All this technology seems great and really interesting. It seems like it would really benefit the company and the people around it, but what if their is a malfunction? What if there is a power outage. People of the future will become so reliant on this technology that if something were to happen, they would not know how to do a thing manually. Please look at the website I used as a reference, it is REALLY interesting and covers many aspects of the "future".
