    Solar-power farms?

    De-Salination Projects?

    Electric/Hydrogen vehicles?

    Fucking Rizzla manufacturers?

    How about anything that actually fucking benefits the human race??
    First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.

    And after that, you can go down the pub.

    Nah - not practical nor profitable.

    War, weapons, imperialism is the life force that's gives us meaning.
    Praise God for manufactured boogiemen by the boatload.

    Really and WTF is going to pay for them when when in essence you are no longer needed? Robots, new working ways to cost five million jobs by 2020, Davos study says | Reuters Robots don't go for a piss , need a lunch break , go on strike for more pay , or need sleep, all they need is programming by one person and they will do the same thing over and over again with out making a mistake , in other words there is no human error , what an employee eh

    machinery has been causing redundancies since before sliced bread but it also creates employment.

    Dumbed down Masses? Oh I see , you mean the Water buffalo in Thailand which used to number 3 million at one time , now you hardly ever see one , simply cos a Kubota tractor can do the work of ten Buffalo's and it only needs one man to drive it , were as with buffalo's it was one man one buffalo

    yes millions will be unemployed or dumbed down folk doing dumbed down jobs in the future.
    Leisure will also be the future for many.

    If your job can be done by a robot without you then it's about time you had a good look at your career path.

    I've had many jobs and from a certain point onwards they have always required machinery, but not one of those jobs could be done by a machine/robot without me.

    The unemployment rate in the EU is almost 10% with youth unemployment in certain Countries like Spain and Greece double that and with the untold millions of migrants coming in its bound to get worse , everything I have researched points to more unemployment not less , did you not watch the video ? how many people did you see ?or read the link which quite plainly said that robotics will cause another 5 million people to be thrown on the scrap heap in another 5 years or so .
