Just my thoughts #0336

The era of the Industrial Revolution mechanized humans. In today’s information age, machines are increasingly humanized, exemplified by artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence combines with robots to take over tasks traditionally performed by humans, leading to what is known as mechanical unemployment. This trend is referred to as the phenomenon of dehumanization, which concerns many laborers. However, the burger shop ‘Creator’ in San Francisco has embraced robots, selling burgers at an appealing price of $6 each, sparking considerable discussion. Rather than having a human operate like a machine, robots are utilized, while humans engage with customers, consult personalized recipes, and serve the burgers. This situation illustrates how advanced mechanization can help restore genuine humanity. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Approximately 85% to 90% of the global population is right-handed, while the remainder is left-handed, with very few being ambidextrous. Throughout history, horses have served as a primary mode of transportation for humans. Typically, right-handed individuals mount a horse from the left side, relying on their right hand to grasp the saddle for support. If a person approaches the horse from the edge of a busy road on the left, this naturally orients the horse’s movement toward the left side of the road. Consequently, human anatomical tendencies have influenced the direction of road traffic. This practice led to the establishment of the left-hand shipping rule for vehicles, ships, planes, and even space shuttles. Thus, our civilization on Earth represents a legacy shaped by human anatomical traits.   - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

There are markets where demand generates supply, while there are markets where supply must generate demand. Las Vegas, a city in the middle of the desert, is a business structure that creates demand from supply. Supplying gambling rooms simultaneously generates the operating income of the gambling room and profits from hotels, transportation, restaurants, and shopping. In a poor business environment, you need to review the essence of your business. If you try without structural change, you will likely tire, and it isn’t easy to expect improvement. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Rather than building more houses to catch skyrocketing real estate prices, investing in transportation infrastructure is more effective. An office worker unable to afford London’s murderous rent moved to Barcelona, Spain, to live in a three-room house. He commuted to low-cost airline Ryanair for about £ 300 less than commuting from London (as of 2017: £ 580 house rent + £ 778 transportation fee = £ 1,358). The transportation environment changes our lives. Thoughts can’t keep up with the change. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

In the USA, even in one country, the time difference between the west and the east is 3 hours. People thought that time was a natural thing. But it is not. It's very political. The time that man lives in a unit of minutes is too short. However, since the invention of the steam locomotive, the appearance of faster vehicles made crazy changes to the concept of time. The shift in distance made people realize what time was. Sandford Fleming, an engineer and inventor, asked to unify the time difference caused by long-distance transportation, but people rejected his request. If the boarding time were not fixed, the railroad would be useless. The history of the 24-hour clock was made only about 140 years ago. Even with the invention of high technology, if nothing is consensus, nothing benefits. - Joseph's "just my thoughts"
