Interesting TV story a few weeks ago. There will always be jobs.


People have predicted this when farm equipment came along. Same for industrial automation.

There is always advancements, and the work force has continued to grow.

Look at cell phones. Think of all the people that are involved, even though the phones are built by robots. My first one, for the car, cost $1800. Now they give them away. Got to have recievers and transmitters and towers and rooftops and sales force and power supply and bandwidth and repairs and apps.....
