Lol, plumbing especially will never be automated
- Swenrekcah 8y agoit might be in large future apartment buildings where the necessary robotics are built in during construction
- platz 8y agoI think we'll eliminate pipes (e.g traditional homes) before that happens.. we might as well be living in the fully sci-fi speculated future where nanobots control all physical structure and we have near-infinite power sources
- hhs 8y agoThat would be interesting, I wonder if there would be nanobot-like "pipes" (or some other framework) built into the physical structure of homes?
- Brakenshire 8y agoYou’ll have closed black box plumbing systems which are meant to fix themselves, but in fact constantly fail. Then you’ll have a cadre of rogue plumbers, who will fix the problems illegally and off the books. These plumbers will all look like Robert De Niro: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazil_(1985_film) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazil_(1985_film)
- mbrubeck 8y agoPlumbing is automation. Without plumbing, human labor is used to haul water from wells and cart away human waste.
- platz 8y agoeverything is an automation of some more complex system on top of it
- tomjakubowski 8y agoI think there's some confusion here between plumbing as in the trade and plumbing as in the infrastructure.
- mac01021 8y agoNever is a pretty strong word. You're asserting that robots will never reach human level performance for everyday tasks?
