Tele-Robotic Hairdressers of the Future - The Ultimate International Business Model

[foysal dewan]

It seems these days more and more people are losing their jobs to robot. That's not too comforting considering our high unemployment rate, and the food delivery robot fact that we might slip back into recession if we don't get more jobs. Meanwhile, while the politic keeps arguing over which methodology and which political party could best serve the American people to create more jobs, as if government can create private sector jobs, we see that our unemployment rate has stalled out at 8.2%.

Of course, that is the official number, which hardly takes into consideration all of those people who can no longer get unemployment benefits because they've been unemployed longer than 99 weeks, or they have purposely chosen to leave the work force, taken buyout packages from the corporations they work at, or are ineligible for some reason to collect unemployment. Nor does it take into consideration those who are underemployed working at jobs well under their skill and ability levels until the economy recovers, that is if it does recover.

Okay so, are there any professions that don't have to worry about the robotic challenge on the horizon. That is to say in the future when artificial intelligence, computers, and robots are doing all the jobs that humans would've normally done in the past. If you think this cannot happen, or will not happen because of unions, or because our civilization isn't quite technologically advanced yet, I think that you aren't reading the tarot cards correctly.

There was an interesting article, and this might be a case in point, in the Wall Street Journal on July 5, 2012. It was written by Neil Shah and David Wessel, the piece was titled; "Why Hairdressers Are Secure: Their Jobs Can't Be Exported," and as I read this article, it made a very good point, but then after I got my haircut today, I realized something. We currently have tele-robotic operating machines where skilled surgeons on one side of the planet can do surgery tele-robotically on someone that is laying on an operating table in a room on the other side of the planet, someday they could do this in a Mars Colony, oh so now I have your attention I see.

Perhaps you have seen The da Vinci Medical System, they actually have one here at our local hospital. Now then, if I was a graduate student at Carnegie Mellon University, and being that I am a former franchisor founder, and knowing that there are a number of hair salons that are franchises. It would be very easy to put a robot behind that barber chair, and have someone in India who would be willing to work for one to two dollars per day cutting hair, and even though they would be over there, they would cut your hair in the chair that was here.
