Obsolescence Speeding will Drive Tech and Semis, radically different thinking required

[Arthur Hanson]

Education at all levels will have to change for initial learning will be about learning to use a platform rather than books for a platform can adapt to different students' needs, directions and skill sets from grammar school on. The children of today will be living of a world of advanced automation of everything from mental pursuits to physical ones. Data bases that are ever growing will grow and advance to the point where even surgeries will be robotically assisted or even become totally automated. There is already a blood test robot that draws the blood and tests it in one shot. To compete with advancing with the memory of chips, the speed of processing combined with some current technology to perform physical tasks robotically are changing fast as automated advanced research is already taking hold in many fields. These trends are already here and advancing at an ever-increasing rate. This makes all goals an ever-advancing target. All this is already well on its way and requires different thinking and strategies. These are the targets and trends all of us will have to deal with, especially with a field as technical as semis that is growing and changing at an ever-accelerating rate from processing, mems, sensors, data bases, automation and robotics. This trend will lead more and more to a winner takes all that masters this process. It will be interesting to see how the market contest between Intel and TSM progresses. Data centers are but one area that will benefit from these trends. I feel this trend is why we have the current conflict with China who is afraid of being left behind.

Any thoughts comments or additions sought and welcome. I feel Applied Materials is but one of many companies that is working at mastering these trends. Any additions to this list would also be welcome.

That sentence is so badly worded I have no idea what you wanted to say.
Maybe you could expand on that?



As for the trend towards automation, it will require an ever more educated public to operate all these new machines. We will probably get a college degree called something like, "Masters in platform operation" that exists solely to produce people that can operate all popular robots and cobots.
The trend towards automation will require a more adaptive public as each person finds themselves having to do things programmatically (whether that means actual programming or using a variety of menus and options), as opposed to manually. As people typically understand the natural world with a degree of ease (it's necessary from an evolutionary perspective), they will find themselves disoriented in the face of so many machines.
The impact on metal health should be interesting to observe during this time, although it's unlikely to be researched or recorded, at least in an intellectually honest way, because these companies want to sell products, not ensure our safety.

The real question is, "Towards what end is automation necessary?" I mean, eventually we should be able to create androids. And then what? Do we exterminate some of the human population? Do we just all sit back in our lounge chairs and vegetate growing ever more fatter and dumber as we age? Is this trend, towards automation, our own way of sending a giant meteorite at the earth and ending all of humanity after a period of time so much shorter than that of the dinosaurs?
I'd make the argument that we could go the exact opposite direction, becoming more and better educated, but then, most software is proprietary, and opensource hardware is limited to very old techniques due to what people did not patent or intentionally surrendered to the public domain. How are we to learn with the material being either forbidden, in the former case, or dated, in the latter one?

Adaptive education is learning that adapts to the students thought process and is being developed by Pearson out of England. It realizes there are several ways to get most answers or paths to solving the same problem or challenge. This is why education has to change for no teacher could individualize a program for each student.
