talkpoliticsFuture scenarios for world development, you say? Technology making human labor obsolete? OK, here are 5 ways robots are outsourcing humans in the workforce....
Product Fulfillment Process: ATMs, automatic grocery checkout, online order processing, delivering movies by mail or Internet, automated answer systems for most products...
Manufacturing: Replacing human force with robots to make laptops, mobile devices and other electronics hardware faster, more accurately, without taking a break and spending time around the water dispenser, and without joining those pesky unions.
Domestic Service: almost humanoid robots becoming part of every household, doing the vacuum cleaning, weeding and grass cutting, construction, housesitting, nursing care, even companionship and assistance.
Warfare: spy drones, predator drones, smart bombs, and why not robot soldiers devoid of such human frailties as sickness, tiredness, mental health issues, clouded judgement based on emotions... or conscience.
Artificial Intelligence: full-blown autonomous self-learning systems taking us straight into the realm of sci-fi. With all the subsequent changes in day-to-day life as we know it, not to mention the social implications and ethical issues.
THEY'RE NOT JUST COMING! THEY'RE ALREADY HERE!!!11
And, while we're at it, they're gonna steal even our favestest job of all!
