Cynic

But seriously, isn't the point of FIRST to celebrate science and technology? It's unfortunate that automation eliminates jobs, but it's also something that will likely benefit society as a whole; the same argument could be leveled against the cotton gin, the printing press, the steam engine, telegraph, telephone, computer, internet.
