I read a fantastic book about this: Rise of the Robots: Technology and the Threat of a Jobless Future, Martin Ford, eBook - Amazon.com[^] written by someone with vast experience in the field: "Martin Ford is the founder of a Silicon Valley-based software development firm. He has over 25 years experience in the fields of computer design and software development." It details how cheap robots which can do vast work are becoming. Even companies like Kroger Grocery have robots which load pallets with product and load pallets on trucks. Has anyone else read this great book? It's quite balanced and very readable.

:thumbsup: It's a fascinating account of what robots can do, how inexpensive they are becoming and the reality that they will be a part of everyday life soon -- and in some cases are already there behind the scenes. The technology is rising fast.

As I see the main problem is about the value of those jobs...The humans doing those jobs creating value and for that getting paid...for sure the robots will create the same value (otherwise no one would use them) but those lost their job will get nothing of that value...As no payment made no taxation in place... So by 2020 we will have a few millions more to take care of, but no income to do so...A Brave New World?

You'd better hope not. If they can sign up for eleventy jillion tech site distribution lists on their own, your job'll be on the chopping block.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt
