Why are they worried? English isn't English anymore. In fact it makes sense to chose a language that isn't the native language of any EU nation. (I'm squinting regarding Ireland).
I don't really know of one.. I don't think automation is ever shunned as long as it is useful and known to be useful.
Everyone likes things that save time.
There is an essentially an unrestricted demand for healthcare across the world.. they will use the time to either talk to their patients more (or start to if they don't already).. or they will move into other medical fields.. or increase the volume of screening.. (may be harmful, but that's another matter). They probably don't want to do it as it won't really save them much time. OR it will save them time and they have been burnt before. For example, early voice recognition was very poor and over promised. Stopped me using it for ages after it became fairly good. It's still not actually better than typing, but it is closer now. Let's all focus on voice recognition that works before moving on to grander plans....
I hear this sort of argument a lot in different fields. Usually it's because the IT guy doesn't really understand the business they are trying to automate or where the true pinch points or time savings are.
Must be nice to smoke what you are smoking. The "west" lost entirely in Vietnam. Just look at Afghanistan today... 20 years of war and they have been beaten again.
So I have been using Excel every day for 13 years as an actuary. I'm also involved in the management of software project in c++.
You are correct. It's a combination of REPL like behaviour and being able to see the entire state at once that does it. Excel is the most agile programming environment known to man.
