Imagine walking into a building and being greeting by a receptionist. "isn't that normal?" some may ask. Of course it is normal, unless when the receptionist is not a real person but a hologram. What? Yes, it's real! Welcome to the future! Unfortunately, if this becomes generally accepted, some jobs as we know them today will no longer be available to humans. Shanice is a holographic receptionist that will replace the human receptionist at a London Council building. At a price tag of $19,000, Shanice will be programmed to answer "limited number of questions" and "direct people where to go to register a birth or death, apply for a marriage licence, or get married," which sounds like fancy talk for "she's going to be the single most frustrating thing that ever happened to our visitors." It'll be interesting to see how this experiment works out. Imagine if holograms were used for customer care / call center functions. Lots of customers would end up visiting the doctor to be treated for high blood pressure. For now, let's wish Shanice best of luck at her new job. She starts work on August 21st. http://www.infonubia.com/2013/08/meet-shanice-holographic-receptionist.html 1 Like

infonubia: In Advance Human-Computer Interaction, science have tried and still trying to improve the communication between machines and human but the interaction is always going to be limited. This is basically because computers can not think for themselves. Therefore, machines can never replace human daily duties when it comes to interaction. Science have really advanced to the extent that when a human and computer are placed in different rooms and are asked to communicate, the human often mistake the computer with human due to the advance voice technology and the programmed memory of the computer. |

Networkmaster: While I agree with you on the limitation of machines, I must say though, that at the rate at which technology is advancing, it's only a matter of time before routine work functions are taken over by machines. My point is, don't get stuck in a rhythmic job function. People are mostly rewarded for their brain power, not the routine jobs that requires almost no critical thinking. 1 Like |
