In the continuing march of production technology, any human action that is repetitive and routinized will be automated. This is inevitable and unavoidable. Will this global trend in task / job automation impact the industrial sectors differently ? The impact of this inevitability in automation is said to promise a greater negative effect on manufacturing (including agro-manufacturing) and agricultural processes than on services processes which is said to require more discretion, contemplation and intuition and so is more reliant on human actions and hence resistant to automation.
