3) is the problem here. We are doing more with less people and that trend won't go away. Unless we can create new things that require lots of humans to do, were not going to reverse that trend.
- cma 16y agoWe've been doing mostly fake work for more than a century. When mechanized textiles first arrived, they were going to revolutionize everything; instead it just made it so that if you wore clothes that have a tiny stain or tear in them, you appear to society as some kind of leper and you have to throw them away and replace them stat.
- dwiel 16y agoThe trend of mechanized work has been happening slowly for a long time now, however, what is important is the rate of job mechanization vs. the rate of job training/education. If job mechanization happens faster than job creation we experience unemployment. To compound this, not only are we mechanizing jobs faster than before, but job mechanization tends to eat up the jobs that take the least training first. So not only are we losing jobs for people to do, but the jobs we have left require an increasing amount of training. So, even if we come up with new doodads to buy, any of the human work that will go into making them will require an increasing amount of training.
- bartonfink 16y ago... if you wore clothes that have a tiny stain or tear in them that wasn't put there by the factory. I'll never understand the mindset behind pre-ripped jeans. What's next - underwear complete with skidmarks right off the rack?
