>Even a couple of years ago, hardly anyone would have imagined that jobs that typically require years of practice, training and skill could become equally under pressure as the traditional labour jobs that have been replaced by robots This has always happened right through history. Although it is correct that technology developed at such a slow pace until the industrial era (ie cart with 4 wheels major transport until the car, only like 60 years from first flight to landing on the moon). Previously the transition was over the ages, ie iron, bronze, steel etc. But recent progression means we're going to start seeing stuff like that happen faster; I think atm a huge automation stopper is the cost. We manufacture stuff in China because it's cheaper, they don't automate as much as they could because: * Human workers can still be cheaper, because they pay them so little * Job creation is forced by gov because it would otherwise become a HUGE problem (in China/similar).
