Young people's minds explode with ideas and see things out there to solve. The reality is most people don't have so many ideas, or they don't have the patience, or the don't have the hope/time/resource to do so. Robots are the worst nightmare to those very people. Plus, for every great idea somebody has, there is another automation project following right behind. Reminds me of what Fred from AVC said: company A comes out with technology B and it becomes a major success. Then company C makes a cheaper version of B and displaces the billion dollar company A. Then open source group D comes out with open source version of B, and relegates A and C into has-beens. My addition: market collapses, new market with new idea is born on open source technology B. Cycle Repeats. With automation, you have only certain players who will be playing the game.
