Research Plan

My field of enquiry is automation or the use of robots or machines. Automation means the replacement of human mind and human power with the machines or robots (computers). I plan to give solution to the problems faced by the world due to automation. I would talk on the following points regarding automation.
- Automation causes threat to the employment which further causes many more problems like social problems due to unemployment.
- History of automation i.e. what triggered automation, present situation of automation and how automation is threat to this world.
- Automation may be the future thread to the mankind. As shown in movies like ‘I, Robots’ and ‘Terminator’, robots or automated machines may be threat to the mankind. It may wipe out entire mankind.
To support my point, I have taken help from several sources like journals and websites. Few of my sources are given below:
- The history channel website
- Wingo, Walter. "Automation's Impact." Science News Letter 2 November 1963: 278.
- "From Paper File to Digital Database." National Park Service. 26 November 2007 .
I have to find some more journals and other sources to prove my point more effectively and also search for a publication which can publish my article. I will make sure my article matches the needs of the publication.
