(Amazon) started a new phase in high-tech customer service by showing off small drones that it claims will be able to deliver products to consumers in 30 minutes or less...

...if the delivery drones can dodge the drone-killer drones.

I see robots being used by hospitals to take vitals in the wards.

It’s already here. Has been for a long time. The first robots and automation have displaced the underclass — they can’t hope to get a job. The lowest working classes are about to be displaced in large numbers with ordering kiosks and automated food prep. Students and the elderly are goners. I think the breakeven is somewhere around $15/hr now. It will go up. If you make less than $25/hr, you’ve got about five years. Ten years from now, most long haul truckers will be robotic. Traffic cops are also on the extinction list — cars will have self reporting, on board supervision. It will keep getting worse until the first computer designed computers are produced, then skynet will be self aware. That will be about 2035.
