2) It's nice the Apple has dictated the corect width for a human hand. If my hand are bigger do I go to the apple store to get the correct size hands, or have the Robot Devil chop them off and mail them in?
I agree. The airlines should say 'call you congressman'. Just like teacher shouldn't use their own money for supplies, not should parent donate critical supplies. It hides the problem until its so bad there isn't anything to do about it.
" Everything that can be invented hasn't been invented."
SO? that doesn't mean a robot can't do the work required from this new invention.
You whole argument forgets that we aren't just taking about a replacement technology, but a technology the replace everyone.
You're arguemnent was a fallacy when it was made in the 70s, and it still is. Fewer people work in auto becasue of robots. Fewrer then it takes to build the robots they were replaced with.
Hell,I create a software robots that put 4000 people out of work in a year. 4000 people that used to be need for loan processing, out of work. That was just ME in ONE company. Where do those people go when every loan is automated(most are now)? IN another company I put 8000 [people out of work.
Right now I have a reporting system I am getting ready to release that will make several people redundant.
People to write and maintain that software are already employed, so that can't do that.
What about people who where 55, what do they go do? spend 5 years getting a degree? I've seen layers of management get cut becasue there where better management tools.
Any new invention will be able to be built and maintain by robots in 25 years. Almost the entire farm to table food chain could be automated right now.
You only need to purchase the firs set . After that, they can do everything include self reproduce when needed. Once that happens... life will be interesting.
"Might be news to most people through most of history who worked most of their lives.
no, that's a recent development.
But it's besides the point, if we can have decent quality of life and work less, it would be better. I would much rather be playing bass right now, but at my age there is no way to shift to a new career and still make the same money.

1) So? Steve Jobs made many, many mistakes.
2) It's nice the Apple has dictated the corect width for a human hand. If my hand are bigger do I go to the apple store to get the correct size hands, or have the Robot Devil chop them off and mail them in?
What are you talking about? they have created 1 new market, tablets.
FAA is 24/7 not 20 days a month.
I agree.

No, the pubs never intended to compromise or balance the budget. They just want to choke the beast no matter what the people actually want or need.
Obama agreed with may of the cuts, and kept making compromises.
The pubs kept moving the goal post.
So, yeah. It's the pubs.
they have been trying to 'choke the beast' at any cost since Reagan.
they've turning into bunch of hateful nothing thinking loons.
". He will find something else."
through magic? No new job was created for that cook.
the price or PREPARED food may go down, yes.
Do you understand why it's a 101 course?
""If there is a glut of supply of menial labour it means the prices should go do"
Yes, and? Or use a robot. We are talking about robotic workers.
Econ 101, or anything, goes out the window.

First off, we are talking about robots doing the labour, not people.
So at the very least rethink you post with that context.
Also, please name one aspect of society that can't be automated.

It isn't one. Not that it stops anyone from showing their ignorance by stating it.
Except you assertion is provable wrong. Maybe you should learn something before opening your mouth?
Why don't you toss out some more phrases you clearly don't understand.
You do know the results where predicted, right? whats that? no you didn't you just like to open your yap because you have a tiny penis? I thought so.
No, it worked in France.
There issue come from other areas.

Gold* handcuffs.

How short sighted, unrealistic and myopic.
"robots aren't going to pick vegetables and then deliver them any time soon). "
um, you can buy a robotic picker right now.
But, yeah the robpocolypse is coming, and it's going to be an economic war.
Unless we start making long term plans right now.
". Reckoned in 2009 dollars
(that is, adjusted for inflation) the percent of households in America
that are poor or lower-middle-income is going down while the percentage
that are upper-middle-income and wealthy is rising."
it doesn't show that at all.
"There is no reason to believe that will ever happen."
it's happening, now.
Of course, the assumption that everyone can be retrained is laughable, at best.
Becasue nothing makes you feel like a man then having humans do menial work for you.
No, those are called 'vendors'.
Vending machines are automated vendors.
"Studies have shown that bluetooth headsets make no difference when it comes to preventing accidents."

Yet another poor quality study.
