In the future, almost nobody will be working, robots will do everything for us, wont even need jobcentres, you will entitled to a yearly salary for doing nothing.

There will be jobs in the new industries created by the technology.
For those doing nothing, how will the salaries be generated and who will decide who gets paid how much? |

Can't say I thought too deeply about the details, but the idea is great, let's all travel the world and live and let the bots pay for it all.

I think we need to start fighting back e.g puncture the tyres on unmanned vehicles.

Machines do take jobs, lots of them, it's just we tend to find other things they can't economically do.
I can't imagine your car or phone would be so cheap if they didn't have robots on the line or had to be hand soldered. It's when we run out of things people in the west can do, that's when the riots will come. FFS there are even robot vacuum cleaners now that cost about a grand! At least for now they are desighned by humans. In 50 years time, will they be designed by a computer? Built by a computer? Sold by a computer (how hard would it be for argos or amazon to have virtually zero staff)? The only job left will be presenting the one show, and Max Headroom has his eye on that. |

given how wooden those presenters are on the one show they might as well be robots.

And then the 15 million will steal from the people who profit from the 15 million robots. Seems fair.

Are these robots British, or are they bringing in cheaper foreign ones?

Bloke I know who has a basic job at tesco's has been talking for years about being replaced by robots. I reckon it could be a shelf fulfilling prophecy.
