This thing about robots reminds me of what we had to put up w/ a few decades ago when computers came out. Of course now we can all see the millions of jobs computers have created but a century ago the very word "computer" referred to a worker whose job it was to well, "compute".

[Wyatt's Torch]

In the 80’s productivity was revolutionized by computers (Moore’s Law)

In the 90’s by the internet and networks (Metcalfe’s Law)

In the mid-2000’s through now is the mobile revolution.

Robotics the next wave?

When I was an undergraduate we used to joke about one of our math profs who took a calculator on his honeymoon. That was her job, to run a mechanical calculating machine in an office.
