Good afternoon, everyone! As we know, with the development of computer science, some new jobs will be created. At the same time, some old jobs will disappear. In the future, computers will take the place of people to do more work efficiently. Our society will need more white-collar workers, and blue-collar workers will be fewer and fewer. As a middle school student, I think I should work hard to learn more scientific knowledge, so that I can get a good job in the future.
谢 谢!
