Re: Honda Motor Co's humanoid robot

It's true that as you create more advanced robots, it will replace more and more jobs. It will also create jobs. You need to build new robots and maintain current ones. You would need
- Programmers
- Mechanical Engineers
- Mechanical Designers
- Robot Operators (Who says they will be autonomous?)
- Robot Testing
- Field Servicers
and much much more.

So what are we supposed to do? Hold the advancement in technology and keep those who have already chosen a career in a job, or keep on advancing in technology and provide new jobs (however, getting rid of old ones), and maybe make a breakthrough that can save lives.

The invention of TV got rid of thousands of radio jobs, the invention of jet airplanes got rid of thousands of train jobs, the invention of the light bulb got rid of thousands of candle jobs, the invention of the ATM got rid of thousands of teller jobs, etc.

As time goes on technology will advance, and you must adapt. If you don't adapt, you don't survive. I know that whatever career I choose will be obsolete soon, so I have to always be learning in order to adapt to a new job. It's Darwin in action.
