What Backlashes of Technological Progress Are We Witnessing Today?

So far, there has been a lot of discussion going on around the technological advancements made. This year is considered of the prime importance in relation to the industrial revolution 4.0. Artificial intelligence, automation, robotics are no more buzz words or themes of science fiction.

However, like every other phenomenon, technological advancements are no less than a double-sided sword. If it has benefits, it comes with its own risks as well. And the time has come to discuss them.

The industries have been talking about the benefits they are going to reap out of automation and digital advancements. They will be in terms of improvement in quality, speed and cost of services. However, all these improvements have flip-sides too. In this article, we will go through the potential risks of the technological progress we are boasting about today.

1. Fear of slimming workforce: The most discussed apprehension which has come out of automation is- displacements of the existing workforce. There is a huge amount of fear of mass job loss with the deeper implementation of automation and technologies. The debate is not a new one. With every technological transition in the past, the question of job redundancy has been raised very frequently.

New job roles are always expected to come out of any advancement. However, this time, technological progress is being considered different and far more impactful than ever before and not many are sure about the new developments such as driverless cars.

Another reason why technological advancement is considered as a sign of danger is because we are unprepared to take up those jobs. Our workforce and education systems are still not upgraded to adopt the newly emerged technologies. This is highly likely to impact the workforce in a negative manner.

2. Widening gap of disparity: Every time a new technology touches new lands, the elite sections of the society are the first to receive and adopt it. The same is going to happen again in the case of the adoption of new technologies. Both in the developing as well as developed countries, the elites and the capable people are going to touch the technologies like AI and robotics first and reap its benefits, while others who are not capable enough to afford them, will be left behind in the race. This will give a further thrust to the already existing inequality in the society and widen the gap.

3. Constant pressure to stay updated and innovative: With the embarkment of the industrial revolution 4.0, the technologies are undergoing changes very rapidly. New technologies and their used cases are being surfaced on a very fast unprecedented pace. This has come down as a pressure on the technologists, industrialists and the entire workforce to stay updated of each and every development. Not only this, in order to be ahead of the race and top of everyone else, there is a constant need to innovate how we have been working.

4. Rising Security Concerns: One of the major loopholes that have come out of this technological advancement is that of security. It has been seen as a major danger. While we are getting connected smoothly with the help of digital technologies, it has made the work of hackers much easier to get into our lives through multiple anecdotes of connectivity. Cyber attacks are on a constant rise and companies are regularly discussing in their boardrooms as to how to prepare themselves against these attacks. If we want to master technological developments, we first need to learn the art of protecting us from its potential dangers.

5. Impact on personal lifestyles: We live in a society where professional developments do have a huge impact on our personal lives as well. We can not deny the fact that technological progress will be used just for industrial purposes. They will very much be evident in our personal lives as well and the impact of the same is not going to be a very rosy picture.

Tech, and mobile tech in particular allows us with the space to do a lot many things that we couldn’t have done earlier, from watching your favourite Netflix show to playing mobile casino games where you can pay by phone bill.

It is always creating a disconnect between human beings. People are constantly diving deep into their digital lives, forgetting the real physical human existence around them. This is clearly not a good output of the progress we have made.

As we mentioned above, every advancement comes with its own merits and demerits. As the species with brains who have created these technologies, there is a need for constant introspection as well to understand if we are utilizing the path what we made it for.

Missile Strike on US Iraq Bases Calculated Distraction From Deliberate Attack on Ukraine Passenger Jet

Missile Strike on US Iraq Bases Calculated Distraction From Deliberate Attack on Ukraine Passenger Jet

The Russian surface-to-air missiles that killed over 176 people taking off from Tehran airport was a deliberate action by the Iranian regime, possibly conducted by Russian operatives on the ground.

The Russians have no love for the Ukrainians, therefore downing one of their passenger jets was perfectly acceptable for their Iranian friends, who okayed the attack.

The tragic loss of the passengers will have been seen as collateral damage by the West for the death of Soleimani, and will have been viewed as a decent loss of life to sate the Iranian appetite for revenge.

— Viktoria (@Ukropo4kA) January 10, 2020

Many of the passengers were Canadian citizens on the Ukrainian jet, but the Canadian snowflake prime minister will not do anything about it, and the Iranians had carte blanche to bring the jet down without reciprocation.

The pathetic strike against US bases in Iraq was thus a mere decoy for the bringing down of the jet, which was suspiciously initially reported as mechanical failure even though it was only three years old and had recently been checked. None of the missiles fired into Iraq caused any loss of life or hit their intended target, therefore suggesting they were steered astray for a reason to fool the Americans into thinking they got off lightly for assassinating Soleimani.

Now the Americans are jubilantly talking about resuming diplomatic talks, as if nothing has happened. They are prepared to gloss over the deaths of 176 innocent people in order to conduct talks on a regime that deliberately downed a passenger jet.

The Iranian regime has committed a terrible crime, yet the International community is prepared to welcome them back to the table with open arms.

How Socialist Harry and Meghan Nearly Killed Off Monarchy

Royal experts have come to the conclusion that Meghan Markle, a devout socialist activist, not only brainwashed Prince Harry but recreated him as some sort of pseudo celebrity champagne socialist Prince of Wokeness.

Divide and conquer

“Prince Harry is not the most intelligent person, plus he is very gullible, so a cunning person like Meghan Markle uses his easily trusting naive self to run rings around him, as well as everyone else. This sort of schizoid narcissistic behaviour is part of the psychopath trait that inhabits Meghan. She is the master of disguise, and can conjure up any chameleon emotion she wants to get what she wants, the epitome of a Machiavellian manipulator who has caused mass destruction of people around her in her life.

“Narcissists like Meghan Markle do not have a conscience and after they use people for whatever purpose, they are discarded quickly, but not before she has lined up her next targets. The Prince may think he is safe now, but give it another year and Markle will want to move on, because she has completely conquered Harry mentally and physically, there is nothing left for her to use up, and she will get severely bored soon. People like Markle have to have fresh meat to hunt, or they whither away and die.

“The British monarchy is now in grave danger, because they did not vet this person properly before they let her in to the house, and in a short time, Meghan has wreaked havoc upon the Windsors, which may take many years to fix, or it may never be fixed at all. The biggest mistake the Windsors committed was letting a manipulative person like Meghan Markle into the fold.

“Indeed, to understand Meghan Markle, one only has to look at the rest of her life, and how she has treated the people she mercilessly used to get ahead. Her own Markle family, has been destroyed and split, her previous marriages, her previous children and her previous liaisons, all used, then dumped. With the royal family, Meghan, a very sick person, is only repeating the same thing over again, because this is the only way she knows how to behave, it is an eternal circle of abuse and destruction.”

Meghan Sends the Queen a Banana

Meghan Sends the Queen a Banana

To say sorry for demanding that Harry leaves the royal family and Britain, Meghan Markle sent the Queen a single banana with the word ‘sorry’ written over it in scribbly black ink.

The Duchess of Sussex has sent a final gift to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, which was received at Buckingham Palace this morning, the official palace statement read.

Meghan’s spokeswoman, Meghan Markle, wrote on the Sussex’s Instagram page that the Duchess was accustomed to only sending bananas now to people since a certain public engagement last year.

Despite being given everything by the royal family, their own refurbished home, their own engagements, the overseas trips they wanted, the wedding they wanted, the staff they wanted, the truckloads of taxpayer money, it was not enough for poor Meghan Markle, who stated she was ‘barely surviving’.

What the Queen will do with the banana is not known yet.

Meanwhile, there was only abject silence from a miserable Prince Harry on the sensitive matter.

Meghan Markle Successfully Splits Prince Harry From Royal Family

Meghan Markle Successfully Splits Prince Harry From Royal Family

Meghan Markle, who has split her own family, split from her own dad, has now successfully split Prince Harry from the royal family, and caused a permanent split with his own brother.

“It’s goodbye Prince Harry, he was pretty much the most popular of royals, but he will now bunker down in a cabin somewhere in the Canadian wilderness away from the press and his own royal family. Away from those who can advise him, he will be even easier to control by controlling Meghan. She has sunk her claws so far deep, that it may take a miracle to save poor Harry,” royal commentator Hortense Magilowe, told Sky news.

What is the significance of this fatal royal split?

Unfortunately for the Windsors, it will mean that their family is fractured by an outsider who came in and took away their beloved Harry.

“After they go to Canada and America, we will rarely see Prince Harry in Britain ever again. Instead there may be only Instagram posts where Meghan will be selling stuff as an influencer with sponsorship deals. She will also use Archie to sell products, and even Prince Harry may be roped in,” another commentator revealed.

Progressive – What Meghan Wants Meghan Gets

Today is a very sad day for the Windsor clan, and the Queen who was not consulted first by the couple when they made their announcement, was said to have blown her top. The Queen was already very angry that Meghan had demanded to go to Canada for Christmas and snubbed the Sandringham yearly traditional meet.

Isolated, Prince Harry will be even more vulnerable to the controlling narcissistic grifter, as she takes everything from the poor prince, before eventually dumping him to move on to the next chump. If poor princess Diana is watching this now, she must be weeping into the clouds.

Naturally, the Daily Squib predicted this would happen years ago.

Rebecca Long-Bailey: Hi-De-Hi! From Stasi Camp Stulins

“Morning campers! I’m the new continuity camper for Labour’s Stasi camp, where I will show you all what it’s like to be stuck in a gulag with no way out!” Rebecca Long-Bailey shouts through the tannoy.

Poverty for the many not the few

It’s another rosy sunny day in Labour land, the committees are busy doing what they do best, discussing the introduction of their next Soviet policy and massive tax hikes onto the unsuspecting public.

“I’m not mekin’ the tea any more, the Labour party has found woman’s liberation and I will be the new Labour Party leader if it’s the last thing I do,” Long-Bailey yelps as she looks at the image of her former boss leering down at her.

All chalets will be heavily taxed, and eventually owned completely by the Stulins Camp, and if you’re a bad camper you get to go to a special camp somewhere up north called a gulag, where you will be re-educated in the correct Soviet ways, before freezing and starving to death.

“If you’s don’t have a regional accent, one of my policies I have been writing for the past four years with me former boss will be to tek you away and force you to talk like a Geordie or Liverpudlian. It will be a crime to talk all posh under my rule, even though I somehow have a double-barrelled surname meself.”

Here’s to Rebecca Long-Bailey and Labour never being voted in ever again.

Iran Fires Off Few Pathetic Fireworks Avenging General’s Assassination

Iran Fires Off Few Pathetic Fireworks Avenging General’s Assassination

A broken bankrupt Iran has fired off a few short range missiles into U.S. bases in Iraq, as a pathetic retaliation to the assassination of General SoleImeini by the Americans. Tehran chose to forewarn the Iraqi Shiite regime who did not inform the Americans about the impending attack.

“This feeble rocket show was a capitulation by the Iranians, and a display of supreme weakness because Iran fears a war with the might of America as they know they would be crushed, despite their exuberant rhetoric. The Iranians will now retreat to their proxies, as is their cowardly stance to face the enemy. It seems Iran is ruled by cowards who cannot face their enemy head on. These are not real men, but pussies,” a relieved American commented on Wednesday.

With no casualties reported by the Americans, there is an emphatic feeling of relief that the Iranian response to the assassination of SoleImeini has been so pitiful.

After a period of three days of mourning, with crazed Iranians stampeding across the streets beating their chests and chanting for America’s death, one would think there would have been a more spectacular grandiose response to the death of the general, but instead, a few cheap missiles fired into a shed somewhere on an American base sufficed. More people died in the Iranian marches during the mourning period.

It seems SoleImeini was not worth much after all.

To their credit, the Americans are naturally jubilant that the Iranian response has been so limited so far, and Trump has been given a reprieve by the Iranians because they are so scared of a full conflict.

The situation could have been a lot worse, as some are depicting on Iranian TV — PURE FICTION.

Iran Retaliation Lottery: Where and How Will They Strike Next?

By striking the evil Iranian General Qassam Soleimani and frying him with a few well-placed Hellfire missiles, Trump has made one small mistake, he has given the Iranians the ball, allowing them to retaliate whenever and wherever they want.

The three day of mourning of Solemeini is nearly over.

So, where and how will the fucking Iranians retaliate against the West?

You could be a tourist in Times Square, milling around the crowds, taking some photos and selfies when — BOOM! The bomb knocks you off your feet, and you are caught in the panic as people run in all directions. It was a bomb but not just any old bomb, a ‘dirty bomb’ which has just irradiated a one-mile radius of this great international city. You may be alive for now, but the heavy dose of radiation that you and thousands of people have ingested will most probably result in your early death, and the radiation will make the area uninhabitable for decades.

You could be on the London Underground, the carriage is full to the brim, rush hour, standing, an armpit rests directly under your nose. Boom! You hear a loud bang from the next carriage. The Iranians, nasty as they can be in revenge mode, have set off a Sarin gas device which slowly filters through the tunnel. The last thing you feel is a tightening of your lungs as your sight blurs into nothingness.

You could be on an international or national flight, as you sit back to flick through your book, you notice a man going into the toilets, and he stays for a long time. He suddenly emerges and shouts out Allahu Akbar. That’s when you go to the toilet yourself, in your seat. This lovely Iranian chap has smuggled on a home-made 3D printed plastic gun, which he smuggled onboard in pieces, then constructed in the plane’s toilets. He points the gun at an air stewardess, and demands to be let into the cockpit. When she refuses, he crassly shoots her in the head, her warm brain landing on a passenger’s table as they were about to eat their Chicken stew lunch on the tray. The brain, fresh from its hosts skull, steams the man’s glasses as he stares at it in abject shock. The Iranian reloads, then shoots a window out, losing cabin pressure, many are sucked out into the freezing air, others lose consciousness from the lack of oxygen. The plane goes into a terminal dive.

You could turn on the tap in your kitchen. The Iranians have somehow infiltrated the water utility processing centre. It’s a hot day so you drink the glass of water with gusto. The last thing you feel are your nerves seizing up, as you slink down onto the floor, your mouth frothing, your body shuts down as the chemical agent surges through your system in seconds.

You could be in the White House, eating a cheeseburger and slurping on a coke. The Iranians have enriched enough uranium to a high grade to create an atomic bomb. Through America’s porous borders with Mexico, they have managed to smuggle in a suitcase nuke through one of the many drug tunnels used by the cartels. The Iranians pay them handsomely for their use. The next thing you see is a white flash, as you spit out a piece of burger, the White House is buffeted by a hot wave that permeates through the walls. There is no way out, at least not in the time you have, the engulfing flames burn with such ferocity that your body is turned to ash in less than a few minutes. The mushroom cloud over Capitol Hill serves as a message of defiance and revenge from the Iranians.

Etc, etc, etc…

Self-service Company Cammax Set to Attend Transport Ticketing Global 2020 as they Launch New Smart Ticketing Solutions

Cammax Limited will once more return to Transport Ticketing Global (TTG) – the world’s largest and most exciting public transport ticketing conference – for 2020.

The annual get-together for the transport community, TTG attracts all the key players from across the intelligent ticketing, passenger information and SMART cities industry. And, one of the UK’s leading self-service solution companies, Cammax, will be showcasing their new smart ticketing solutions at this year’s event.

TTG will take place at London’s Olympia between 28th-29th January with over 1,200 transport professionals from over 60 countries flocking to the capital to peruse the latest innovations and technology.

Sending transport ticketing into a new era

The 12th installment of TTG will focus on the ability of transport operators to provide a smooth and complementary multimodal experience.

Cammax will be present to demonstrate how smooth and interconnected travel can really be achieved and the West Yorkshire-based firm will use successful projects they undertook last year to illustrate their point. Among the discussions will be the cutting-edge iPoint smart ticketing vending machines that Bristol City Council have adopted alongside its new MetroBus scheme.

What can the Cammax iPoint do? Well, it offers bus passengers a number of services even when they are not getting on a bus. Passengers can buy tickets for Bristol’s MetroBus transport service as well as topping up their smart cards, but the iPoints are also useful indicators of real-time bus information.

One of the greatest technological developments in recent years is the progression towards a cashless society. And, in reference to that, iPoints allow customers to purchase tickets using contactless or chip-and-pin bank cards. For those users scattered up and down the country, you can buy tickets from First’s mTicket app whilst registered Travelwest smartcard users can purchase tickets from the Travelwest site and use an iPoint to upload them onto their smartcard.

Tapping an electronic ticket when boarding a bus has been clocked at being up to five times faster than when people pay the driver for a ticket.

 

New year, new solutions

As part of the TTG 20 event, Cammax will be showcasing a new type of smart ticketing cammax2 smart ticketing solutionsdispensing kiosk and a new slimline design for the existing stratus outdoor smart ticketing machine will be paraded at the conference. Taking transport innovation to new heights, Cammax are helping to fill roles that are currently vacant in the smart travel marketplace and, alongside offering expert advice and awareness, are revolutionizing how transport payments will be made.

Cammax at TTG and on social media

TTG has grown year-on-year and its 2020 conference promises to be the biggest and best one yet. The Cammax team – who will be willing to answer any question – will be on stand B5.

You can still register to attend the event for 2020 by heading to www.transport-ticketing.com to find out more information.

The grind won’t stop there for the Cammax team either as throughout the exhibition they will be updating their social media pages – follow them on LinkedIn and Twitter to keep abreast of the latest news.

Experts: Obama Allowed Iran to Takeover Iraq

Experts: Obama Allowed Iran to Takeover Iraq

The Shiite government of Iraq which is now directly controlled by Iran has voted to expel all U.S. troops from the country after the assassination of Iranian military commander Qassem Soleimani and Iraqi militia leader Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis.

How did Iraq get to the point that it would be dominated by Shiite politicians and groups in league with Iran in the first place?

One only has to go back to the negligence of the Obama regime and its total appeasement of the Iranian regime, as well as its full support of Iran basically taking over Iraq. Just as Obama allowed Putin to take half of Ukraine without even a whisper, he allowed Iran to take over Iraq.

It was under Obama’s laissez-faire reign where Iran was given carte blanche to infiltrate the Iraqi parliament and government, and to have free reign over the country with its militias.

The Obama administration also cut a nuclear deal with Iran which gave them time to develop their nuclear program, and wanted to pay the regime in Iran $1.5 billion for their trouble. John Kerry, under the orders of Obama, personally delivered millions of dollars of U.S. taxpayer cash to the Ayatollahs as a capitulation to their demands.

Now the American garrison within the Green Zone will be kicked out of the country they spilled blood liberating from Saddam Hussein. How many countless American lives and tax dollars were spent freeing the country only to be thrown out by an Iranian controlled Shiite regime, that is proving to be worse of a handful than Saddam’s Sunni Baath party?

Iraq was lost because of the Obama regime’s apathetic stance to the whole Iraqi project, as he actively strode to weaken America’s foothold on the country. It was because of Obama’s useless foreign policy, that America was effectively locked out of Iraq, and the Iranian Shiite movement ran rings around the White House.

The Iraq war, where countless American lives were lost, was all for nothing, and being kicked out of a country they helped to supposedly liberate will be the final insulting nail in the coffin for America in the region, simply because Iran is now calling the shots in Iraq, and not the Americans. How about that for a fuck you for liberating their country?

As is the case, one tyranny has simply been replaced by another, and the power vacuum created after the Iraq war was a staging post for further shameful future disgrace for the American liberators, now nothing more than pariahs.
