I am also of the opinion that Controllers will never be made to take a back seat to technology due to the unpredictable nature of the many tasks they perform. What made me ask the question in the first place was seeing a few Career site etc that painted a gloomy future for ATC.
So what does the future hold for you people ? Does anyone out there know what technology is in development to make ATC more automated/computerised ???
Where do the younger generation of Controllers see themselves in 20 years ????
I can alraedy hear you all saying "Retired to a secluded Island Paradise in the sun"
