The High-Skilled Workers

 

Brynjolfsson and McAfee call the group personified by Nate Silver the “high-skilled”workers. Advances such as robotics and voice recognition are automating many low-

skilled positions, but as these economists emphasize, “other technologies like data

visualization, analytics, high speed communications, and rapid prototyping have

augmented the contributions of more abstract and data-driven reasoning, increasing the

values of these jobs.” In other words, those with the oracular ability to work with and

tease valuable results out of increasingly complex machines will thrive. Tyler Cowen

summarizes this reality more bluntly: “The key question will be: are you good at

working with intelligent machines or not?”

Nate Silver, of course, with his comfort in feeding data into large databases, then

siphoning it out into his mysterious Monte Carlo simulations, is the epitome of the

high-skilled worker. Intelligent machines are not an obstacle to Silver’s success, but

instead provide its precondition.

 Smoking is not useful our heath. Smoking is one of the most harmful habits that people tend to develop around the world. Even though some individuals might find it sensational and attractive, smoking is not useful in any way when it comes to our health. The act of smoking tobacco directly affects the respiratory system leading to various complications like asthma, lung cancer, and other fatal health issues. Smoking not only affects the smoker but also puts the people around them at risk, which includes the family and colleagues. Secondhand smoke can cause the same harmful effects as smoking directly. This passive smoking causes a range of respiratory infections like pneumonia, bronchitis, and asthma, creating a serious risk for children of developing coughs or allergies that are hard to cure. Moreover, smoking can lead to heart diseases and increase the risk of developing other chronic health issues like stroke and other lung infections. A smoker tends to develop carbon monoxide p...
