This arguement would be true that robots could take over a job of a fast food emploee if:
1) The total cost is significantly cheaper
2) THe robot can perform an equal or better service than a human
3) People like using the robots
While all the claims in the article may be techincally possible it does not mean that they will be accepted. Here in Philadelphia it is hard for me to undrstand why union workers can hold up billion dollar projects for petty issue, crack house remain in neighboorhoods because if they get cleaned up then the present residents won't be able to afford the new housing. There will be lots of polotics that can't be predicted in issues such as automating whole industires. The article may be correct about the future of technology, but who knows how the stupid humans will manage to mess it up.
