Really? ,you should try to get a grip on whats happening in the 21st century , they now have computerised driverless tractors working off satellite navigation systems which now plough and plant millions of acres in the US corn and wheat belts , what do you suggest they do for a job now they are being put on the employment scrap heap ?.

Robotics in the end is going to cost millions of more jobs , the worst thing is its unstoppable .

^If you look at it in more of a half-full way - it just means we'll get much longer holidays

Solar-power farms?

De-Salination Projects?

Electric/Hydrogen vehicles?

Fucking Rizzla manufacturers?

How about anything that actually fucking benefits the human race??

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

You are so fucking full of criticism ,what do you suggest to try and keep employment ,when undoubtedly modern technology and robotics is destroying it ?

Do we have to pay the robots?



Maybe robots will become our slaves?

Take a few minutes of your precious time and read the link in my post #58 about robotics killing millions of jobs in the next 5 years or so , HTF is any one going to find the laid offs alternative Employment ? making More Ploughshares perhaps

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

It's all about employment for the good of the dumbed down masses.

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

said something very similar around 3 yrs ago on here.

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

unless there is gonna be ww3.

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 .

Hey Dirk ,when Bloomberg comes out with some thing like this doom forecast ,(just one of a dozen or so) there has to be some thing in it . Rise of the Robots Will Eliminate More Than 5 Million Jobs - Bloomberg Business
