Robots and employment

[Fouro]

When there are no more humans and "robotic beings" rule the world, can you picture them all dancing to Robbo Rock 'N' Roll and the Robo Boogey for their pleasure.

FOURO.

When I see some of the young ones today dancing they are just like Robots s, so nothing will change.

There is an online grocery outfit in the U.K. where virtually everything is done by robots who pick up the ordered items from bins in the warehouse and place them in the customers basket. The only humans involved are the delivery drivers.
Automation using robots does have its place in certain industries but in the retail market I think all of us prefer to see a human face at least at the checkout till.

I too refuse to use self checking and give my business (shopping that is) to the "checkout Chick". However that being said, my wife's three nephews went to top schools for their degrees, bachelors, and masters paid for by scholarship and their doctorate by their respective employees, they are all in robotics, pharmaceuticals, engineering, and oceanology (mining). Starting salary, six figures plus their tuition. Nice little earners.

One never knows their luck, but considering the high earnings they make, members of your wife's family might secretly decide to arrange a one way journey in space to Mars for you, then you will have no option but to adopt Mars and become a Martian.

FOURO.

If Robots overtake man in the building of things and man becomes unemployed, where will the money come from to buy the goods made by robots-just a thought.

All I see is them jumping up and down on the spot and waving their arms in the air, there is no physical contact, no attempt at rythm or doing steps, even if one of you is doing them backwards and in high heels (no not me). Dancing is all about holding your partner close, with the lady feeling your body movements, when that happens the feet will follow the contours of your bodies and you will flow around the floor in unison and gain pleasure from both aspects, the bodily contact and the feeling of freedom that dancing gives you

#17... Ivan your first line and I thought you were describing the Houses of parliament, or maybe to be closer to the truth the House of lords. Then realized I was mixing up puppets, muppets, and robots. Cheers JS

Hi Fouro.
How about our postmaster general, the highest paid civil servant in the world, his salary has just gone to $6million 500thousand. our Pm gets around $340 thousand, All he has to show for his pay is closing Post offices, questions are being asked, yes but will they be answered.
