[QUOTE="JL 0513, post: 2433731, member: 50088"] I'm all for technological advancement but we're approaching a potentially dangerous turning point in which computers/robotics take over way too much of human tasks (jobs). Certainly more tech jobs get created but no where near the amount of jobs lost to the tech. We've already reached a point where we are at permanent high real unemployment (not the fake number government uses). Regardless of what politicians promise, high unemployment is here to stay and will likely grow and grow as this tech matures. Driving, mostly truck driving, is the single most common job description in America. Where will we be displaced? The other most common jobs are retail and restaurant jobs and those already have self checkouts and kiosks becoming commonplace. Robots are already on their way in to become customer service workers. We can't stop progress but the consequences could be economically devastating when half of everything humans do today is replaced. And just remember that robots will be making the robots too.
