Need more of them to make iPhones.
- ck2 11y agoYou say it in a crass way but actually, the point of the growing middle class and shifting of China's economic base means there are going to be fewer people making iphones. Next it will move to Vietnam
- TeMPOraL 11y agoMaybe we can abuse the fine folks in Shenzhen one last time and automate the entire manufacturing industry away?
- ck2 11y agoChina is getting really good at assembly robots too. However if the process can be completely automated then why not do the manufacturing right where the bulk of consumption is going to happen to reduce shipping costs which are always growing.
- TeMPOraL 11y agoThat's a good point, but we still need to reach that outcome, and this will happen graudally. Whatever the end results of robofactory revolution, it will have to start here, in the factory of the world, because that's where we make robots for cheap.
