Robotic Agriculture

In today's agirculture world almost every farmer uses robotics to improve the efficiency of farming. Within the farming culture it is commonly accepted that bigger more powerful machines are better. It is believed that robotics will eventually completely take over the farming industry. The first step to this becoming true is that tractors will become fully automonous. Tractors and farming equipment are at the forefront for development and automonous navigation technology. In fact these carse use similar technologies to those being implemented in the self driving cars. Rather than driving the tractors the operators can simply supervise the machines and have multiple tractors going at once. The robots who do the work will also become much smaller and slower in fact. By making the machines smaller there will be less soil compaction during operation with creates a better growing enviroment for the crops. The smaller machines will inturn created a slower turnover of crop, but studies have shown that having more crops, but slower harvesting is better for the farmer. Being that there will be an advancement in technology the operators will have to be more technology smart. This will mean that the service providers will have to have a stronger sense of the technology they are working with. Although most of these changes have not happend, the technological advancements that already have happend ahve caused a decrease in agricultural jobs. However, these changes are potentiall revloutionary and could be evolutionary.

I found this article important as we can see technological advances in aspects of life. It bring me to think with robotics taking over what will happen to all the people who need these jobs. Will other jobs open up for those who don't have knowledge in computer science?
