A day ago I made a comment here about how I wasn't sure that a large population of available working-age people is the huge advantage everyone seems to think it is anymore, and this is exactly the kind of thing I had in mind. Look at that flexpicker video. Bet you didn't think a robot could stack pancakes. Well baby, a robot can sure stack pancakes all right. How long before it can flip burgers? I bet they already can and it's just a matter of cost. Wouldn't want to only have repetitive manual labor skills in about 10-15 years' time when these things drop in price to below $10k or so. Robots are going to cut through the service and manufacturing sectors like a 2 megawatt laser through room temperature butter.
