Most of the jobs lost to robots and computers are stressful and boring. Their loss could result in more leisure. The added productivity could result in higher standards of living.

We actually could be making more money for less work.

This would not be achieved by the Republican nostrums of "lower taxes (for the rich) and less government." It would require the economic intervention of a much larger, more powerful government. Unfortunately, most Americans no longer have the confidence in government most did have in 1994.

What an absolute load of shit.

We don't need more socialism to automate.

Are you arguing that replicants have rights to Jane?

Robots good or robots bad. Do you have an opinion?

They'll apparently create more jobs than they destroy.

You have not refuted my argument. You have just exposed your vulgarity, and the fact that you have nothing to contribute to an intelligent discussion to a serious problem.

Stupid people like you will be most vulnerable to automation, because you lack the intelligence to learn complex job skills.

That article discussed possibilities rather than certainties. What I suspect is that the jobs created by automation will be many fewer than the jobs destroyed, and that they will require complex skills that most people are unable to learn.

Your argument is the same old same old socialist argument that government control over the economy will result in a huge improvement in living standards, advancements and getting more for less.

Despite over a century of attempts around the world at doing so, government intervention and control over the economy has not ever once produced any such results. You can't show a single solitary example of that economic theory ever resulting in anything but failure.

That is why you are in fact refuted, thoroughly so.

LOL....the guy advocating an economic system with a 100% fail rate calls other people stupid, that's awesome.

Unlikely, as I was smart enough to be educated in a field that wont be automated in any of our lifetimes.

I didn't read the article, but I do know that in some area's, robotics will not replace (currently) the person who does the job. It will just enhance their ability.

As an example, on road construction, the finishing device used for road crowning is a "grader". All the new graders now come without steering wheels ( joysticks), are fly by wire, and can automatically set the grades. The operator is really only there to steer. This removes the need to learn the skill sets, operators of old used to take years to learn. So we still need a driver, but they don't need any more complex skills than driving a car. This will robotics enhancement ( currently) will not eliminate the operator, but with no real skill sets required, the wages normally paid will drop.

If you want the proof of your statement, one only needs roll back the clock to the late 1800' early 1900. Prior to labour standards, the standard work week was 6 days a week, few holidays, low wages, child labour...
