That stuff when it takes off will hit like a nuclear bomb. It will be fast and devastating.
Remember how cell phones started? In the beginning a few folks had them in cars then big satchel phones then huge handhelds and a few years later smaller and more people owning them then all of the sudden everyone had them and now phone landlines are akin to buggy whips.
It has started slowly but it is gathering momentum and now with this 15 buck minimum wage B.S. Robotics/Automation is gonna explode.
I predict by the mid 20s most of what we consider now as low-paid menial jobs will not be done by humans at all in the Western countries. It will definitely change the world we live in.
It's not going to stop at replacing menial jobs.
Everyone's job is at risk of being eliminated by technology, and much sooner than most people realize.
And when that happens, we'll all be on the government dole, each of us getting the same allowance from the government.
There will be no way to better oneself economically.
It will be a socialist's dream and the biggest manmade disaster in history.
