This relationship will help us move forward and be more innovative. We have read Why Robots Will and Must Take Our Jobs by Kevin Kelly and Blue Collar Brilliance by Mike Rose, these two readings have made realize how much technology and humans can accomplish together. Author Kevin Kelly’s argument about the importance of humans collaborating with technology helps me see something new in Mike Rose’s argument about blue collar workers skills, especially Kevin Kelly’s analysis of the baxter’s abilities can be used at the diner and uncle Joe’s job, the development

While he makes a great point that he redesign meaning he used his technical skills to help the company reduce the cost of paint. Uncle Joe as I mentioned earlier has become innovative and has learned to work alongside machines. However, with Kevin Kelly’s help, we can see something new in Mike Rose’s observations. With Kevin Kelly, we can see the impact robots make to our society and are not here to take over our jobs. Furthermore, as discussed in the previous paragraph, Kevin Kelly shows us that technology is here to help us be more innovative, so we can now see how it made Joe Meraglio be more innovative and helped him grow in the company because of the relationship and experience he had with the
