Farmers, a Case Study● In 1900, 30 million people in the
United States were farmers.
● By 1990 that number had fallen to under 3 million even as the population more than tripled.
● 90% of American agriculture workers lost their jobs, mostly due to automation.
● Yet somehow, the 20th century was still seen as an era of unprecedented prosperity.
How to Win with Automation (Hint: It’s Not Chasing Efficiency)

Step 2: Embrace.
![Page 37: Futureproofing Your Career: How to Stay Relevant in the Age of Automation: MPI WEC #wec17](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030318/5a650add7f8b9abd5b8b49a9/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Automation starts with a baseline of what people do in a given job and subtracts from that.
It deploys computers to chip away at the tasks humans perform.
@danberger | #WEC17
Automation vs. AugmentationAugmentation means starting with what humans do today and figuring out how that work could be deepened rather than diminished by a greater use of machines.
Adapted from Beyond Automation, HBR, 2015

Human-centered automation is a term used to characterize the use of automation technologies (e. g., intelligent aids, displays, warning devices) to enhance the capabilities and compensate for the limitations of human operators.

Redesigning Jobs
How to Win with Automation (Hint: It’s Not Chasing Efficiency)
When doctors have the world’s medical knowledge at their fingertips, they can devote more of their mental energy to understanding the patient as a person, not just a medical diagnosis. This will help them take lifestyle, family situation and other factors into account when prescribing care. This will change how doctors will interact with patients.
