[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 4005901, member: 24302"] That's a major concern as the new technology will create some jobs but the point is to eliminate as many jobs as possible. So if everyone is trained to fix a widget and yet only so many widget fixers needed. When I was in the Air Force the office I worked in had 4 airmen and computers. Before computers that office had 30 airmen working in it. I'm sure many have seen parks in cities with bandstands. In the early 1900's towns of any size had paid musicians playing evenings at those bandstands. Record players came along and people found they could stay home and listen to the world's best musicians. Put many thousands of musicians out of work. What's being talked about in the near future though is on an unprecedented scale. And without the contributions of all those workers what happens to Social Security? [/QUOTE]
