re: .

This is legitimately concerning to me. I know that this was the same concern raised when mechanized agriculture largely replaced hand-picking or when the sewing machine replaced the seamstress, but this coming wave of automation feels entirely different. In the past, technology rarely fully replaced the human, it just made humans more efficient (1 could do the work of 100). However, what happens when human imput is completely obsolete? Our entire society is based on a model that soon forseably appears to be at an end. In our society we go to school to educate ourselves to get jobs which in exchange for our labors pay us wages which we use to purchase the goods and services needed to support our selves and our families. However, what happens when there are no more "jobs"? What happens once human imput is completely obsolete? Robots are more flexible, they can be smaller and stronger, they don't need breaks, they don't need to be paid health benefits, ect. What will we do once robots replace construction workers, engineers, lawyers, firefighters, soldiers, police officers, waiters, cooks, cashiers, bartenders, teachers, baristas, programmers, ect? How will we afford goods and services without jobs? How can we "strive"? Will there still be economic mobility? How will it all work?
