Life is not always smooth sailing, although the overall is good, but occasionally there are some hiccupes. In fact, the same is true for the development of society, which is constantly getting better and better, but occasionally faces some challenges.
If nothing else, in the second half of the year and next year, it is likely that "6 major changes" will occur in society!
The use of robots for the elderly may become a reality.
It is already a well-established fact that the number of births is decreasing. In this way, after we enter an aging society, the pressure on the elderly will gradually increase, so the problem of pension pressure should be an unavoidable reality. It's not scary to encounter a problem, the most important thing is to see how to solve it.
Over the years, the level of science and technology has continued to develop, in fact, great achievements have been made. So far, we have seen a lot of intelligent products. For example: autonomous driving, drones, unmanned workshops, unmanned hotels, unmanned vehicles to deliver food and express delivery, robot dogs, etc.
According to the current situation, it is not impossible to use robots to provide for the elderly. After all, giving old-age care is nothing more than taking care of food and daily life, washing clothes, cooking, doing housework, etc., which are relatively simple jobs. It is not difficult for robots to be competent for these jobs, so if there are more and more elderly people in the future, and the pressure on the elderly gradually increases, it is not impossible to realize the robot to provide for the elderly.
There will be more people who want to have a stronger ability to work, which means that they will want to improve their ability to work.
Nowadays, some people lament that there is a lot of pressure on employment, and some people lament that money is not easy to make. But if we look closely, we will also find that there are still people with annual salaries of hundreds of thousands or even millions, and some people can easily find jobs with very good income and stable jobs.
Networking is only one aspect, but more important is your ability to work. As long as your ability is strong enough, generally speaking, the income will not be too bad, the job will not be too difficult to find, and you will not worry too much about layoffs and salary cuts.
Nowadays, various artificial intelligence products are becoming more popular, automation is becoming more and more common, and some jobs will gradually be replaced by machines. After all, if you are just an ordinary part-time worker and really have no competitiveness, then it is difficult to avoid the trouble of laying off employees and reducing salaries.
More people are likely to regret buying a home, especially those who have taken out a loan to buy a home at a time when house prices are high.
Now that housing prices are so expensive, it is not easy to reduce prices, but there are many people who oppose them and are calling for housing prices to save the property market. In fact, for people who have already bought a house, whether they are speculating in a house or buying it back to live in themselves, they have already bought a house anyway, and the house is their own asset, so they don't want the house price to fall at all, but they want the house price to continue to rise.
Now that house prices are falling, those who have already bought a home may regret it. Why? Let's do the math.
If you used to buy a house for 20,000 yuan per square meter, if it has now dropped to 18,000 yuan per square meter. Although it only dropped by 2,000 yuan per square meter, if it was a 100-square-meter house, it would be a difference of 200,000 yuan, and if it was bought with a loan, the difference would be even more if it was bought with interest. Therefore, these people will feel that if they buy it a few years later, they can save more than 200,000 yuan. And I may not be able to save 200,000 yuan after working hard in the past few years, so it seems that the efforts of the past few years have been "in vain".
The era of PUA in the workplace is likely to be over.
Now that it is 2024, it is equivalent to the post-00s who were born relatively early and have gradually entered the workplace. The younger generation is not the same as the middle-aged and middle-aged and elderly. If the boss or leader is still managing the older generation, it basically won't work. Today's young people are really transparent, and many people are becoming more and more disgusted with things such as PUA in the workplace, singing about suffering, painting pies, etc.
Young people's willingness to marry may gradually decrease.
In the past, marriage was basically the order of the parents, and the matchmaker said that they would almost get married in their 20s, but now many young people always feel that they would rather lack than abuse, and if they don't find a suitable one, they will continue to be single. I don't know if such an idea is good or bad, after all, there are pros and cons. But if there are more and more people who have this kind of thinking, then everyone will get married later and later, and some people will not even get married at all. Because it is not easy to find a satisfactory partner. If you don't want to settle, it's really not easy to get married.
The idea of preference for sons over daughters is basically disappearing, and young parents in the future will be more in favor of the idea that "having children and daughters are the same".
Because over the years, we have continued to pay attention to the equality of men and women, and from the reality of the situation, whether it is a boy or a daughter, sometimes there is really not much difference. Therefore, young parents in the future may be more in favor of the idea that having children is the same.
