The 4th Industrial Revolution — Loved by Mining

I gave a glimpse of the West Virginia Coals Mines in my blog post “Capitalism Overreach — The West Virginia Coal Miners”.

“The phrase Fourth Industrial Revolution was first introduced by Klaus Schwab, the executive chairman of the World Economic Forum, in a 2015 article in Foreign Affairs, “Mastering the Fourth Industrial Revolution” was the theme of the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2016 in Davos-Klosters, Switzerland.”

Your Choice — Class or Industrial Revolution?

Now we are seeing the loss of grocery store cashiers, even robots that make your morning coffee. Soon hard hit will be bookkeepers and accountants.

I mention in the above post that Australia is already using driverless trucks in mines. Not the trucks that drive the streets but the behemoths that haul iron ore from the pits to the mines. Virginia, Minnesota will be putting a new haul truck for tourists to visit. A large haul truck slid down an embankment at the Minorca Mine on April 29, 2019. The driver was checked in to a hospital and released unharmed.

Size of iron ore hauling trucks. These are in Australia. Brazil has two companies using driverless trucks.
