Are Robots taking away our liberties?

Be prepared for millions more jobs lost to automation. Not just fast food joints but stores like WalMart urging self checkout. Less phone service jobs as we order so much stuff like plane tickets and goods online. Movie theaters want you to use kiosks and soon the ticket window will be gone. People love technology but it is coming at a massive negative price no one wants to speak of.

It's definitely going hurt us.. specially the countries with over population.. Businessmen are there for their profits so they will definitely go for automation.. all companies be it core industry, it industry whatever are rushing for automation and cost cutting.. Which will definitely create lot of unemployment and in future people will revolt worldwide against this..

Many more professions are concerned everyday. At first it was only small jobs needing no real competence, and now intellectual professions are also threatened. A candidate to our presidential election wants to tax heavily any of these robots. It might be a solution to slow their installation but they will soon or later be able to replace any worker, and our society will have to change, maybe more quickly than we think. Putting the fault on globalization and closing the borders is naive. The only companies making large profits today are web based, and the habits of people have already changed : because of credit cards, banks are closing in our streets, shops are closing because of people buying online and somewhere it permits to the post office to survive, etc. On another hand many material things are disappearing : people are preferring to subscribe for online free music than to buy CDs, to pay a small amount to watch a movie online than to buy a DVD, etc, and somewhere it kills the industry. It is not a matter of liberties but of economic model, and our model is dying.

One gas station in town pumps our gas and checks our oil. It sure is nice!

Sooner or later, this modern technology will make people jobless.

This is happening all over the world and is a big problem. The main problem comes because too much of money is in the hands of a few and they pull the strings. The havenots cannot survive this onslaught and suffer with low pay. The basic thought of us being told to study well and get a good job when we grow should be removed from our minds. Due to changed circumstances. Small businesses and entrepreneurship has to be encouraged since childhood so that dependency on jobs is reduced to a large extent. There will also be shortage of labor which will increase the wages. Due to all this robotics in ordinary places will have to stop as that technology will not have many takers as there are many small companies. Or the robotics companies will have to come out with micro products to serve the new small businesses. Hope this information is useful.[i][/i]

That's an interesting question. If robots could get the orders right, I would be all for them actually lol.
