Buy a robot and have the robot do the work while you retire to some place tropical.

It's also nice that robots don't ask for health care, family days off, sick days, retirement pensions, or unemployment when you can them.Originally posted by Kuciwalker
Why bother getting concessions from workers if you can replace them by a robot for cheaper?
Seriously, this is nothing new. Mechinization of labor jobs was a huge issue in Victorian times. People survived just fine though job patterns changed.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment

don't worry. When Kerry is elected president, he will give tax breaks to companies to hire human workers over robot workers.
Kerry will protect our jobs!Comment

It's far more likely that if we can all be replaced with robot labor, most of us will be thrown to the wolves.“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”

Idealy this should be a good thing isn't it? I mean this is how people were free to pursue arts and science and all that good stuff in the first place. Higher productivity and more leisure times I mean.Be good, and if at first you don't succeed, perhaps failure will be back in fashion soon. -- teh Spamski

Exactly the same thing has been happening ever since people started making tools. Labor-saving devices have NEVER caused problems except in the very short run.Comment

if robots do most of our jobs, and we don't create new ones, we have no choice but to go to socialism. In that case, I might actually support it. It'd be like star trek

We're talking about the complete elimination of labor, not merely labor saving devices. When humans are no longer involved in the role of production, then our only jobs will be to sell each other stuff, and that too can be handled by machines. So what do we do for money, just move things around?Originally posted by Kuciwalker
