Noodle Robots Replacing Workers In Chinese Restaurants

Posted by timothy on from the nothing-can-go-wrong-nothing-can-go-can-go dept.

kkleiner writes "Recently developed noodle-making robots have now been put into operation in over 3,000 restaurants in China. Invented by a noodle restaurant owner, each unibrow-sporting robot currently costs 10,000 yuan ($1,600), which is only three months wages for an equivalent human noodle cook. As the cost of the robot continues to drop, more noodle shops are bound to displace human workers for the tirelessly working cheaper robots."

    OK, let's follow this hare down the rabbit hole.
    Do away with email and create more 29hr/week( praise be the messiah 0bama for this one ) postal carriers.
    Stop news sites on the internet and create more newspaper routes for jobless teenagers.
    Stop IM and create telegraph runners.

    Anything else you want to add to your version Directive 10-289? :-\
