Re: Is the future here now? Forbes thinks it might be.
Why would bills have to be paid if robots did everything for us?

Who am i going to manage now!? Back on topic: I personally doubt that our society will reach a point where humans don't work and robots just do all of the work. I can see technology advancing much further to eliminate jobs as many have stated. Trash trucks with arms and trashcans with bars for the trucks to grab onto have eliminated 2 jobs on most trash trucks which is considered one of the lowest jobs in our society. |

Okay, I'll tell our first set of seniors to go out into the world, get a good degree, and make a robot that cleans showers!

Re: Is the future here now? Forbes thinks it might be.
How far would "everything" go? I assume that mowing the grass and cooking food would be included. Would we have robots repair and maintain robots? Would we have them design themselves? Would they raise children? Would they run law enforcement? Would they be the judge? I completely agree that technology is useful and that it could in theory do everything. But will society ever trust a robot to be the president and give it all the powers that includes?
Also, as a side note: When people say "the future is here" do you believe that to be a contradiction or a tautology? On one hand, if its here now it is the present. On the other hand, when I say "here" I might mean right next to me in which case the future is always right next to the present so it would be a tautology. Just something to ponder. I think this is a sign I better sleep. Jason |
