Well actually there has not been any real need for that for years now. With automation we could replace all those "dull" work places.
But the problem is: What do we do with the now unemployed masses? If we want to keep our capitalistic system that is.

You think OCR technology is at the point of sophistication or expense such that it would be economically beneficial for Google to deploy such technology over hiring humans but they don't do so to maintain our "capitalistic system"? You think there's some conspiracy of corporations to waste money on unskilled labor to maintain capitalism?
- leon_ 15y agoSee, economical benefit. There's the problem. I say it's possible but not with our current form of society. > You think there's some conspiracy of corporations to waste money on unskilled labor to maintain capitalism? Think about it and answer this question for yourself.
