"The goal of the future is full unemployment, so we can play." - Arthur C Clarke If everyone is unemployed who pays their bills? Well the idea is that necessities become so cheap that people could pay for everything with what unemployed get in food stamps... These unemployed will need low cost robo-housing (housing made by robots), low cost robo-healthcare (fully automated health-care clinics), and low cost robo-food (sheets of meat grown in robot factories). Hopefully those things will accompany the driver-less cars and retail-bots that replace all workers in stores and on the road. People think "who will pay to maintain, or manufacture these robots?" Memristor-powered conscious robots will laugh at these types of questions... because that's primitive humanoid thinking. The robots of the future will explain they can "print" themselves, and because of new advances in materials science, and non-silicon low-cost electronics, hundreds of robots could be made for every person that exists on earth, per day... if needed. Don't want to eat meat grown in a laboratory??? Don't want to trust your health to fully-automated robots??? Don't want to live in a robo-built trailer??? Then get a job programming robots!
