Content: Thus, we as customers are able to afford higher consumption levels compared to people who lived just a few decades ago. Dangerous work can be done by machines
In some industries, especially in those that can be dangerous or quite exhausting for humans, it may be quite convenient to use a robot instead of workers. For instance, when it comes to disarming arms, robots can do a great job and humans do not have to get themselves into danger of physical harm or even death. With the progress of technology and artificial intelligence, the use of machines will spread across industries, which may protect workers in dangerous working areas. Autonomous driving
The internet also plays a major role in the development and the operation of self-driving vehicles. Autonomous driving only works if cars are able to communicate with each other via the internet in order to be able to navigate safely through the traffic. Thus, the whole autonomous driving industry heavily relies on the proper functioning of the internet. Smart homes
Another trend that has come up just a few years ago is the construction of smart homes. Smart homes are basically meant to connect our household devices so that we can access information on them via the internet. At an advanced stage, those devices might even be able to carry out some tasks on themselves, like ordering food in case the supply in the fridge is under a minimum level.
