Kolek planning to go pro
well at least robots don't argue, go on strike, etc, but they might call in sick on occasion
Some here will blame the workers. First for being fired, and then for being "takers".
first off-some will say, the workers brought this on to themselves, secondly, remember the advent of the refrigerator? well i don't, but many who made their living delivering ice didn't become takers, they retrained themselves and found other trades. the "takers" shouldn't become a lifestyle, but merely an aid to help them get back onto their feet
Watch the Human's need not apply video. Whereas in the past, new jobs were created when some were removed, this is an entirely different scenario.In these cases, there will likely be no jobs created when these are removed. There will be no new jobs or new trades.
C'mon Surgeon - you were there for the wheel.
This is patently false. I work in the industrial automation industry, and some would say what we do eliminates jobs, but it actually creates new ones. Critical to the success of robots or any other automation process is networking and decision making authority. Find someone with industrial networking skills and you'll find someone with a job for life. Just because people can't understand the jobs that are being created doesn't mean they aren't being created.
Do those created jobs require intelligence beyond the capacity of those whose jobs are being eliminated? That's part of the equation. Not everyone can be educated past a certain point.I don't think it's "patently false" but there may be some disagreement as to the results of alll of it

I'll put in a third recommendation to watch this video. Your grandchildren are doomed.
Your grandchildren will be fine ... this epic change will be over by then.That said, your children are at risk. If they don't get at least an undergraduate degree, can divide fractions, write, and think critically, they are hosed. If they don't get at least an undergraduate degree ... then steal a shopping cart and start living under the overpass as the economy will soon have little to no use for you.
It is well documented that there a many quality jobs for 2 year technical degrees going unfilled, while many college grads are bartending.
Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny. Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.
I'll put in a third recommendation to watch this video. Your grandchildren are doomed.As for the disagreement .. sure you need humans to do certain tasks .. I don't think the supposition was "all humans will be fired" .. it was that when you take a task that takes, say, 10 laborers today, and replace that with a robot .. sure there's +1 new job for "robot repair guy" .. but there's a net loss of 9 human jobs.Meanwhile, 75% of the US population doesn't educate themselves past high school .. and those jobs are prime candidates for automation.
Reinko Jr is going into HVAC. People will always want to be warm in the winter, and cool in the summer. Plus our countries infrastructure is so bad, machines ain't fixing the pipes in your house for a long time.
Companies aren't turning to automation in order to replace workers. Companies are turning to automation because they can't replace workers.
They will gravitate toward stuff like HVAC. Yes, we will forever need to get HVAC fixed by Humans, but eventually the supply of those willing, and the increased quality of the new products will make prevent wages in these jobs from ever rising.
