[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1087769, member: 43436"] A little over a year ago I completed a robotics class (as part of my degree's technology requirement) and we discussed such things. We're still many years away from having robots that can act like humans in performing complicated tasks such as loading package cars. Sure, the technology will be developed in most of our lifetimes, but it won't be cost effective for mass deployment until most of us are dead. For comparison, it wasn't cost effective for full computers to run things like cash registers, ATMs, etc. until the last several years. [/QUOTE]
