That's great. I program, edit, and fix robot components and programs to do what companies want them to do, which changes every week.

So I am good for more years than I would like.

3% wear on a conveyor drive component leaves a robot unable to function. Safe-off torque limits and following errors which must be built in due to lawyers in charge of engineering (yes folks, lawyers run technology) require constant and persistent maintenance and spare parts replacement, which is all labor to make stuff and stuff to make labor.

It's a nothing issue.

I am retired so there is little chance of me getting replaced. To take a day off now I have to go to work.

I think they are using the term "robots" as synonymous with automation.

I wonder what McKinsey found out about past automation. How did our current employment picture evolve?

I look at my level of automation in my own self-employed market research occupation.

I developed some software to help load stories on my website and do various research and report-production tasks.

But you still cannot take myself out of the loop because all the programs imply someone who understands my own processes very well to run those programs. There are many tasks it would take along time for someone else to learn. So I need to automate at a deeper level.

My guess we'll do just fine with automation. But the key is flexibility. In our prior, heavily-regulated workplace it was tough for entrepreneurs to operate successfully.

Also the tax cuts the Trump administration is pushing will make life easier for the workplace to remain fluid and flexible.

Robots aren’t the bad guys. How many human workers have been displaced by engine-driven as opposed to human-driven equipment(e.g. earthmoving equipment), production lines, cheaply produced and formed plastics, computer-aided activities, better-designed equipment that has lower operating and maintenance costs.

There was a huge push for high automation and robotics in the auto industry, from the early 80’s, up to the mid 90’s.

Then NAFTA and china came along.

It was, and still is, much cheaper to have manual labor offshore than it is to spend on capital equipment for a US based operation.

The only thing that is bringing automation back to the US is cheap robotics, comtrols, and machinery from asia.

How many mechanical and electrical engineers and factory workers does it take to support a robot?

"... the rising tide of automation will force as many as
70 million workers in the United States to find another
way to make money, ..."

Not going to happen. Seventy million? Ridiculous statement.

1. In the meantime, there will be a lot job openings for the makers of the “Robot”.

2. People installing the “Robots” will be hired.

3. People to maintain the “Robots” will be hired.

4. Restaurants and stores using the “Robots” will let us order our food or products with our smart phones and computers. This will create more jobs.

5. Those of us smart enough to invest in the companies making the robots will do very well.

The losers and whiners in life, will not do well. They are not smart enough nor motivated to retrain for 1-4 above. They will continue to be voters for the elite perverted rats in congress and their state government.

To late some states like California have 80% of the workforce are robots that look like humans look how their court system works and elections.
