The Coming Of The Internet Of Things Will Lead To The Emergence Of 3 Hot New Jobs.

along with Internet of things Era Coming soon, the discussion about new technology will take away the jobs of human beings again. U.S.A Zach Supalla, a TechCrunch writer of science and technology blog, recently wrote that although many IOT business models are to improve operational efficiency by reducing labor force, new technologies will not reduce employment opportunities. Zach Supara, He also said that in the era of Internet of things, three professions such as CIoTO will be most popular.

　　 The following are the main contents of the article:

From the beginning of mankind's entry into the era of science and technology, the worry that new technologies will take away our jobs will appear. Taking steam engines as an example, when it was invented in the late seventeenth Century, people were worried that the emergence of steam engines would indicate that physical labor would end, and that thousands of people who would earn their living by manual labor would lose their jobs.

However, the steam engine has not only taken away our jobs, but created new employment opportunities in the emerging industries such as the railway system and high productivity factories. Although some manual workers have lost their jobs due to the invention of steam engines, the steam engine has also created many new jobs, such as machine operators, engineers and maintenance personnel.

Over the past 250 years, we have seen the same fears and fears in a world defined by technological change. As of September 2015, Amazon has deployed 30 thousand Kiva robots to automate storage center management, improve operational efficiency and reduce labor demand. At the same time, market demand for software developers is increasing. The judgment made by Marc Andreessen in 2011 - "software is devouring the world" - is becoming more and more real.

In the next ten years, in the new era of Internet of things (IoT), this discussion will rise again. In an industry labeled as "putting things on the line", many IOT business models will increase efficiency by reducing labor force. We can see that some enterprises connect garbage bins with the Internet to improve the efficiency of deploying garbage trucks. This means that we will need less garbage trucks. UAVs will significantly reduce the time spent on surveying large areas of land, which means that we will need fewer surveyors. In the next ten years, every industry involved in electronic technology or equipment is expected to be subverted in this way.

So we also want to ask a question that was asked in the late seventeenth Century: will new technology take away our jobs? The answer is No. Take Target as an example, the American retailer just released the revelation of chief engineer of IOT last month. The job is to create innovative Internet of things solutions for users, "the recruitment notice said." applicants must have experience in programming languages and code, and adopt iterative methods in their work.

In addition, Janco Associates, the technology consulting firm, identified the Internet of things manager as one of the three new posts in the manual in the latest edition of the IT business manual. As a senior position, it requires managers to be responsible for "implementation and maintenance of technical system support, as well as data transmission and recovery for field control personnel."

In short, the Internet of things will be able to do technology in any field - complementing low skilled jobs with highly skilled jobs. Ultimately, the Internet of things will lead to simple and repetitive work in many fields, such as manufacturing, quality control and planning. But more importantly, the Internet of things will lead to the emergence of new jobs. These jobs will help enterprises succeed with IOT technology, and even promote the success of the whole industry.

　　 The following are three popular jobs related to the Internet of things:

Chief Internet Officer (CIoTO)

2016 will be the year of the birth of CIoTO -- according to Machina Research, a market research firm, "at least one fortune 500 company will appoint CIoTO" this year. In addition, research shows that more than half of British companies will hire CIoTO in the coming year, and invest in this area, especially in Education, retail and telecommunications. Of those surveyed, 94% said they would invest in projects related to the Internet of things, involving infrastructure, security, R & D and talent.

CIoTO will be responsible for promoting a series of technology related decisions, which will determine the future direction of a company. In addition, CIoTO will propose the company's Internet of things strategy, responsible for developing Internet of things products or projects, responsible for collecting data from the Internet of things, analyzing and identifying various insights, and ultimately taking action based on such data.

　　 Internet of things business Designer (IoT Business Designer)

Some companies are hiring technology driven "Internet of things experts" to manage some projects or employees, but we will see a bigger industry trend, that is, the emergence of Internet commerce designers. They are creative leaders, trying to find various business opportunities that can be solved through the Internet of things, and then explore this opportunity by means of technology.

Business designers of the Internet of things must have a clear understanding of the company's development in the next 10 years, and can define and execute a project. This project will become the first step of the company's next 10 years' planning. Besides, they must be skilled in technology, but they will not be obsessed with technology, so long as they can solve problems through scientific and technological means.

　　 Fuller Stack Developer (full stack developer)

Full stack developer refers to developers who are familiar with the back-end and front-end technology. Specifically, this means that developers must understand infrastructures, databases, back-end codes (Ruby, Python and Java) and front-end code (JavaScript, HTML and CSS).

But in the era of Internet of things, this is not enough. The Internet of things products include not only the front-end and back-end systems similar to web applications and mobile applications, but also hardware and custom-made hardware. This means that your "stack" must be more comprehensive, and you should also understand embedded systems (Firmware), electrical engineering and mechanical engineering. So you need a more versatile developer.

Such talent sounds as rare as unicorns, but these software engineers do exist. Many people who study computer engineering and embedded systems have switched careers in webpage and mobile application development, because the treatment of these jobs has been more generous in the past ten years.
