An argument as old as the Luddites. New technologies have always resulted in more and varied jobs, not less. I don’t know what they will be, but they WILL be.

How did the new technologies affect the emergence of the dependent, non-productive elements in our society? They certainly didn’t prevent the politicians from using those elements for their own enrichment. (And, my goodness, I’m not talking about the handicapped and the special needs people. I’m addressing able-bodied humans who are physically capable of working but who choose not to.)

"New technologies have always resulted in more and varied jobs, not less."

But why bother working when automated systems are already providing for your basic needs?
