This is the template for automation of all jobs in all fields.
Automating all work seems like a great idea, at least in an economy where humans can survive without working.
- bsder 3y agoDon't get me wrong. I don't want to bring those jobs back. At my age, my grandfather was five years from death, still laying on his back, out in the elements, welding facing up with slag dripping on him while boxcars rolled over his head. And it's not like he was making phenomenal money. It is good that job is gone. However, we never figured out what to do with all the people those jobs would employ.
