RE: Musing Posts

Not all our jobs but certain jobs that a robot could do 24 hours and you couldn't. Packing, assembling,construction,driving are just a few I can think of that will be at high risk of being replaced.

Companies need to cheapen services and products to be more efficient and competitive. This is one way they can bring down prices. A work force is very expensive and is rather limited in certain aspects.

A human expects holidays and sick leave and can be unreliable. This is time lost to the company that they can never get back. A robot doesn't need down time unless it is an upgrade but can work 4 x as much as a human if take all the hours in the week. That is 4 x more production and would make a huge difference. 

Where robot's suffer from is they can't think for themselves so you have to have someone overseeing and a programmer. Who knows how far a robot will progress in the future.
