We might still be a few years away from using virtual reality to get to work from our comfy, comfy beds (dang) but technology is still changing how we work in ways we might not even realize. See how tech might take some of the work off your plate in the future.
Imagine instead of asking Siri about the weather forecast or some obscure fact you’re too tired to type into Wikipedia yourself, you asked her to bring up some cost projections for work? Or maybe asked her to analyze how the stock market might swerve after a theoretical political event. Virtual Assistants like Siri, Alexa, OK Google, and the like are going to likely take work out of our inbox and into the internet (possibly via those cordless earphones Apple is peddling). As supercomputers get smarter (hello, Watson) the tasks they’ll be able to complete will also become more and more complex. Let’s just hope they abide by some basic laws of robotics.
