The Future of Public Administration

From my viewpoint, the future of public administration is very grim…at least for public administrators. As our society moves on to rely more and more heavily on technology, the need for public administrators becomes less and less. We begin to rely on artificial intelligence to maintain our systems, technological, social, even the judicial. Everything that we do is continued by the robots. Unfortunately, robots cannot understand the complexity of the field of public administration because it cannot be defined.

For the robots, it does not exist if it cannot be rationalized or put into logical thought processes. The first robot that tried to understand the antiquated ideas put forth by public administration had to be destroyed. The other robots could not even use the parts of that poor robot as anyone who tried also went “insane” as we would call it. After that unfortunate incident, robots put aside the idea of ever discovering what public administration actually was and focused on keeping humans alive.

American robots were programmed with complete knowledge of the Constitution and prosecuted civilians as they understood the law. No one questioned the reliability of the robots to fulfill this duty and any other duties, because the humans gave up their responsibilities a long time ago. They proved—just like they did when they stopped wearing seatbelts and needed a law to tell them that it was the right thing to do—that they were irresponsible and needed rational, logical, and methodical leaders. And who better to take the task then robots? Thus, public administration ended just as surely as this class is ending…with ROBOTS!
