Could a Robot Replace You?

We can look at the “human vs. machine” as a symbiotic process: The computer and the human need each other to make each other better. Unfortunately, when we rely too much on automation, the computer seems to take over. Automation may free us from that which makes us free. Carmen looks at ways to balance the human and the machine and create better engagement with your customers.
