THIS is the big question for the near future ... along with where will the money come from?

[fhayek]

Bitcoin.

[UCANSEE2]

It’s only worth it if we can get robots to replace everyone in the Congress, Senate, and Executive branches of our government.

[MeganC]

If robots do everything then what do we need people for?

[UCANSEE2]

We don’t need money. We can just trade toilet paper to unemployed Venezuelans. Put them to work building robots. If we are going to have ‘free trade’ then let’s use if for something that makes sense.

[PROCON]

The service industries, plumbers, electricians, etc., will always survive and flourish.

[VanDeKoik]

We will invent new industries like when people thought the early Industrial Revolution would put most people out of work too.

Still should be job for humans - making predictions that are 30 years away that if they don’t pan out no-one will remember that they were made.

If I was heading off to schhol, I would be studying robotics and mechanical and or electrical engineering. NOT programming beyond the basics. They are not always working properly, taks that are smaller can be even trickier. They do not replace people 1:1. Too much maintenance for hardware, software adjustments, not to mention the electrical and physical plant needs of support, relocation and line adjustments for developing profiles. They need to be constantly calibrated and supported. This is not as bleak as it appears on the surface, anymore than the assembly line was for America in the 00’s and teens. 1900 that is. Everything that is old is new again.

or, go be a farmer and build a self sustaining life. It’s a hell of a lot easier today than it was back then too.

If we are gonna have sex bots we are gonna need incubation bots to raise new children so we dont have to import turd world savages to destroy all we have built.

Let me program the mommy and daddy bots, free republic values will be instilled upon the robot reared replacements otherwise we are gonna end up like sweden or germany level of screwed.

[tet68]

Great, robot politicians.
Oh, wait, we already have those, and robot voters too.

[Jan_Sobieski]

Robots will take over most jobs in the world by 2045

I disagree! Sarah Conner is going to have a son, and he will help humans fight off the robots...

[MNDude]

there were many Twilight Zone episodes predicting this back in the 60’s.

“The human body generates more bio-electricity than a 120-volt battery and over 25,000 BTU’s of body heat. Combined with a form of fusion, the machines had found all the energy they would ever need.” — Morpheus

"I was reading a book the other day."
"Reading a book?"
"Yes. It's all about civilization or something. A nutty kind of a book. Do you know that the guy says that machinery is going to take the place of every profession?"
"Oh, my dear, that's something you need never worry about."
- Jean Harlow (as Kitty Packard) and Marie Dressler (as Carlotta Vance), Dinner at Eight (1934)

They were naive back then.

Sexbots are just around the corner.

[Secret Agent Man]

There will be a big rise in robot repair engineers and techs.

[DakotaGator]

Well, by 2045 my job will be “being retired”. A robot may be able to do nothing better than me. But it won’t be able to do nothing with more style than me ;-)

[familyop]

Much of the work in robotics is done with open source design. All the robots are belong to us. Besides, global, overly centralized production will end soon. How? That will be a surprise. Give it six years if that long.

[hattend]

Don’t care...I’l be dead.

[BenLurkin]

This will not end well.
