Very soon we're going to reach the point where there are robots capable of doing most jobs. Paralegals, chefs, factory and agricultural workers, programmers, pilots, drivers, maybe even police and fire along with most military, who knows what else. Robots already doing more jobs than many people realize...Once robots are applied in earnest, profits will be through the roof for a few people and everyone else won't be able to get a job to save themselves.

This robot revolution is not in the best interest of society. What is a man if he can't work?

They've been saying that for 200 years since machines and automation in factories and farms started being used.

Gov regulations and high taxes do cause a loss of jobs. This is why there are less adults now working as percentage of the population than at any time as many are on welfare , disability etc. This thanks also to the marxist Obama not automation or machines.

Physicist Michio Kaku says we are 50 years away from the technology you’re talking about.

They just ran a contest worldwide to build a rescue/firefighting robot, and not only could they not think, they all fell over.

He said this in response to all those scientist last week calling for a ban on autonomous weapons.

He says we are a couple of generations away from having to worry about that.
