I checked the library Twitter and Facebook this morning.

I finished reading Imagined Life A Speculative Scientific Journey Among the Exoplanets In Search of Intelligent Aliens, Ice Creatures and Supergravity Animals by James Trefil and Michael Summers.
I like Exoplanet Travel Bureau Posters that came from NASA that they mention in the book.
https://exoplanets.nasa.gov/alien-worlds/exoplanet-travel-bureau/

I also finished reading A World Without Work Technology, Automation, and How We Should Respond by Daniel Susskind.  It is a solid overview of what might happen in the future as automation reduces the amount of available work for people.  The last sections cover Universal Basic Income and a future where work does not determine the primary purpose in life.

I checked the displays and the gift books this morning.

We received flyers for the Westchester 2020 Census.

I checked the biography books in the mezzanine.  I also spent some time checking books from the biography to bring down to the mezzanine.

Daily Thoughts 02/26/2020

I checked the library Twitter and Facebook this morning.

I read some more of A World Without Work.  I am reading about the limits of education with technology.  There are certain things that machines will do better than people in the future.  People will reach plateaus with their abilities.  For example, people will no longer be able to beat machines at Chess or Go.  The limits of machines has not been fully tested yet.

I also read some more of Imagined Life.  I am reading about extra solar worlds which are worlds that have flown free from solar systems. There is a little bit on Oumuamua, the extrasolar object that passed through our solar system.

I also read some more of A World Without Work.  I am reading about how machines substitute for people.  The author discusses how in agriculture and manufacturing people were mostly replaced by machines.  There is also some commentary on how large internet companies do not require large amounts of staff to run them.

I checked the library Twitter and Facebook this morning.

I read some more of Imagined Life.  I am reading about the idea of life on an ice world where creatures live near heated vents near the ocean floor.

I also read some more of A World Without Work.  I am reading about the idea of technological friction.  One of the ideas is that as jobs are replaced by technology many of the jobs that are created will be low skill work.  Many will choose to not take low skilled jobs and not be able to be trained for the emerging skilled jobs created by new technology.
