@aspvenom,
Quote:In my engineering class I've programmed robots, and it's very hard to execute an action.
It'll take some time before robots are going to take over all of the menial jobs (Amazon has automated it's warehouse and Lexus is replacing car painters with automtaed robotic painters with greater effeciency and more precision in it's layer deposits).
Unfortunately, Venom, the trouble doesn’t come when the robots (and computers) take over ALL the menial jobs…just when they start taking over a significant number of ‘em.
I respectfully suggest they already are doing that.
EXAMPLE: There was a day in my earlier life when every major corporation had a huge department stocked with decently paid workers, called “The steno pool.”
I doubt there is even one steno pool left in America. Filing jobs, secretarial jobs, steno jobs…and many of the more mundane clerical jobs are now “menial” jobs…and nobody is paying anybody to do them. Computers do them better, faster, and much, much, much cheaper than humans.
Quote:It's hard to tell when all this will come, but with Moore's law, it's pretty much within our reach.
If robots take people's menial jobs, I guess people will migrate to job positions where there is less supply and more demand in the field. This requires getting an education, higher or equivalent to a bachelors degree I suppose.
Good luck with that idea! I just do not think it is going to happen. I think the day of a person of limited abilities (which includes a huge segment of our population) is able to earn his/her living is finished. It ain’t coming back.
Thanks for posting, Venom. Please continue to do so if you have other thoughts…or if you disagree with me or anyone else posting here.
