Will Robots Eventually Steal All Of Our Jobs?

[highdesert50]

It's interesting how we wrap the word robot. If we look robotics in the simplest sense, we have been using machines for a long time to largely expedite repetitive, menial, and perhaps dangerous tasks, for example grinding grain. I suspect no one complained a lot about a robot grinding grain. But, with the advent of robust computing, robotics has taken a decidedly more prominent role whereby instead of freeing people from the tedious tasks, higher level vocations are now threatened. I think this is evolutionary in that we as a species are creative and will foster further development. But, it also argues that we need to assure that we, as well as our children, are supremely educated so that we remain productive and not subservient. Or, we will be the janitors of the robots.
