For 200 years Automation has been the major economic motive force throughout the Industrial Powered World This s a very short tiime span in Human history given the rise of agriculture and city states is took 1o-2o thousand years The key to Automation’s success is the the ability to adapt new proesses and machinery that delivered more output for lower cost with greater reliability and less risk/danger to workers and operators while the mechanisms of compensation for labor time/skill/attention slowly evolved too.
Of course the straight line of industrial improvements has seen notable shocks and shortcomings such as child labor extremes, mining and manufacturing disasters or slowly accumulating health or disease outbreaks. Meanwhile the concentration of the profits of labor is accumulated by an ever smaller group of stakeholders with exacting a growing cost to viability of the enterprise.
Over the past 70 years Automation’s increasinlgly sophisticated electronic systems have become the driving force of 2oth century economic innovation . IT systems are the mover sand transfer agent in society around the world. Literally millions of jobs have either moved out of tradional production sites or have been replaced by aoverall utomation. s the following economic sonWith the start of 2023 as forewarned, AI Technology is incoming rapidly regardless of what you need or want.

Implications
AI does mean much faster Web development across WordPress and a broad range of Web tools which will put pressure on agencies and design firms. Adding to faster turnaround is the fact the Tech Industries in 2023 so far have made 77,000 layoffs to their staff so far. Like Climate Change, does this mean an unexpected consequence, perhaps a hollowing out of mid-level technical careers? No NO, we have been taught not to worry about Automation – it always creates more [and higher paying] jobs than it consumes.
